Here we will complete the preparation method of the Kentucky chicken recipe.
How to prepare:
Cover the chicken pieces with yogurt or buttermilk and leave in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. This helps tenderize the chicken and allows the spices to stick together.
Mix all marinade ingredients well. Next, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it drain off the excess yogurt, then rub the chicken pieces with the spice mixture to coat them completely.
When preparing the crunchy mixture
In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder with the rest of the spices. Make sure the spices are evenly distributed in the flour.
Take each piece of chicken and dip it in the flour and spice mixture, pressing it well to coat it completely. You can dip the pieces again in a little water or milk and then coat them again in flour for extra crunch.
Prepare the oil:
– Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
– Fry the chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, usually 12 to 15 minutes per batch.
– After frying, place the chicken pieces on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
Do not stack the pieces when frying so that the oil temperature does not drop.
To ensure that the chicken is cooked well, you can adjust the oil temperature to medium and not too high to avoid burning the outside before the inside is cooked.
Serve hot with French fries or coleslaw for a KFC-like experience. Enjoy delicious KFC fried chicken at home!
