KFC Extra Crispy #FamousRestaurantCopycats

Ingredients:

1 whole frying chicken, cut up and marinated

6 – 8 cups shortening for cooking

1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups all purpose flour
2.5 tsp salt
¾ tsp pepper
¾ tsp MSG
1/8 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp baking powder

Procedures:

• Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces.

• Preheat the shortening in a deep-fryer to 350F.

• Combine the beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl.

• In another medium bowl, combine the remaining coating ingredients (flour, salt, pepper and MSG).

• When the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.

• Working with one piece at a time, first dip in egg and milk then coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, then the egg and milk mixture again, and then back into the flour.

• Be sure that each piece is coated very generously.

• Stack the chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated.

• Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot shortening. Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for 12 – 15 minutes, or until it is golden brown.

• You should be sure to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly.

• Remove the chicken to a rack or towels to drain for about 5 minutes before eating.

Note: After he perfected his original, he made a crispy recipe that was marinated first then fried the conventional way. This one is double dunked into the coating to give it its great taste.
