RECIPES FOR CRISPY SKIN AND JUICY FRIED CHICKEN 

I hail from the south, and it’s well-known that Fried Chicken is a fundamental dish in this region. Something you are destined to cherish and meant to consume! This recipe for The Ultimate Southern Fried Chicken is among my favorite dishes and one that I fine-tuned over several years to perfect. This recipe yields a crispy outside with tender chicken inside. The ideal chicken, in my view. Great fried chicken requires patience, so take your time with this one. 

POTENTIALLY ANSWERED INQUIRIES: 

Is it possible to replace the buttermilk? 

No, if possible, please refrain from doing that. If you are going to the effort of preparing fried chicken from scratch, you will miss a lot of flavor. Kindly attempt to choose the genuine article (not the type made with milk, vinegar, and lemon juice (details to follow – that works well for many recipes but isn't the best for fried chicken). Soaking overnight is best for achieving maximum juiciness. 

What is the purpose of including cornstarch in fried chicken batter? 

The blend of cornstarch and flour contributes to a crunchier outer layer. 

Is it possible to use chicken breasts for making fried chicken? 

This recipe is suitable for any chicken cut. The important factor is ensuring the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. 

Is it necessary to use peanut oil for frying chicken? 

Peanut oil has a mild taste that won't interfere with the flavor of the chicken. Canola oil would be my next option. 

I frequently observe southern cooks using a cast iron pan for frying. Why don’t you? 

I fry my chicken in a deep fryer, but this can also be done in a deep, heavy pot. I often notice that you can get darker burn-like marks with a cast iron pan if you aren’t extremely cautious. 

What can I do to give my fried chicken a flavor similar to KFC? 

You will have to utilize their renowned 11 herbs and spices. Simply replace the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in this recipe with these seasonings: (you will omit the step of seasoning the separate chicken pieces and mix in 2 1/2 tablespoons of this seasoning into the flour/cornstarch blend). 

Sure! Please provide the text you'd like me to paraphrase. Combine the ingredients and substitute approximately 2 1/2 tablespoons of the blend for the seasonings listed below when using it in this recipe. 

• 2 cucharaditas de sal 
• ½ Tablespoon of dried thyme 
• ½ tablespoon of dried basil 
• 1 tsp dried oregano 
• 1 teaspoon of celery salt 
• ½ Tablespoon of black pepper 
• 1 tablespoon of mustard powder 
• 2 Cucharadas de pimentón 
• 2 cucharadas de sal de ajo 
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger 
• 1 tablespoon of pepper (opt for white pepper if available) 

What can I pair with this chicken? 

The options are limitless. A few of our favorites include: Southern Fried Okra, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Butter Swim Biscuits, and Macaroni and Cheese. 

REQUIRED INGREDIENTS: (REFER TO RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR COMPLETE RECIPE) 

whole chicken (divided) – you may simply opt for your preferred chicken part: breasts, thighs, wings, or legs. 

salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder – these are the seasonings I prefer, but you can choose your favorites or use the KFC copycat seasoning mix mentioned above in the FAQ. 

buttermilk – I discuss this more extensively in the Frequently Asked Questions section above. This truly makes the meat incredibly tender and prevents it from becoming dry. As mentioned earlier, there is truly no real replacement for buttermilk in this context. If you're in a real bind, you can look at my post on How to Make Buttermilk (but truly, aim to use the actual ingredient here). 

hot sauce – this is not required but gives a pleasant little boost. 

cornstarch – it provides the crispy skin, so be sure to include it. 

Peanut oil – I prefer this oil for frying because it doesn't overpower the chicken's flavor (and it has a milder smell). 

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS: 

Chicken must be kept in the fridge. For this, it’s important to allow the fried chicken to cool entirely before getting ready to store it, as this will help the coating remain crispy. 

Put the prepared chicken in a sealed container and store it in the refrigerator, where it will remain fresh for up to 5 days. You can warm it up in the oven, microwave, or an air fryer. The air fryer and the oven will ensure the skin remains crispy during reheating.
