Fried Chicken April 20, 2009
Chicken, like pork and beef, are enjoyed by millions of people. This white meat is can be bought in any grocery store or market. Chicken can be prepared in numerous ways. You can fry it, make soup, roast, grill or top it in pastas.
My all time favourite chicken dish is extra crispy fried chicken with steaming gravy. I scourged numerous recipes online in hopes of creating the ultimate fried chicken. I have found several ones but when I followed the recipes, it was missing that “oomph” that I was looking for.
You don’t have to buy a deep fryer to create crispy fried chicken. You can use a skillet, saucepan or a pot and fill it up with oil. Just make sure that the oil is hot, but not too hot, when you put the chicken in and that it is fully covered with oil.
Until I find that ultimate recipe, I make my fried chicken the old fashioned way. I marinate my chicken in salt, pepper, and chilli. Then, I add eggs and flour to the marinade, making sure that the flour are properly dissolved. The thickness should be just right to fully coat the chicken. Afterwards, I just fry it in hot oil. When it is golden brown, I remove it from the fire and drain the oil with a paper towel.
Dip the fried chicken in gravy and enjoy!
