The Ultimate Southern Fried Chicken
Main Ingredients: Large Eggs, Kosher Salt, All Purpose Flour, Cornstarch
This recipe takes the traditional southern fried chicken up a notch by using a buttermilk and hot sauce brine to infuse the chicken with flavor and tenderness. It's then coated in a deliciously seasoned breading and fried to perfection, resulting in the ultimate southern fried chicken experience.
Ingredients:
1. Chicken:
The star of this dish is, of course, the chicken. We recommend using a whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces, for maximum flavor and tenderness. You can also use chicken drumsticks or thighs if you prefer. Make sure the chicken is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking and juicy meat.
2. Buttermilk:
Buttermilk is the secret ingredient that adds a tangy flavor and tenderizes the chicken. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
3. Flour mixture:
For the perfect crispy coating, we recommend using a mixture of flour, cornstarch, and spices. The cornstarch adds a lightness to the coating, while the spices add a burst of flavor. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking and experiment with different flavors.
4. Oil:
The oil you use for frying can make or break your dish. We recommend using a high smoke point oil, such as canola, vegetable, or peanut oil. These oils can withstand high heat without burning, resulting in crispy and evenly cooked chicken.
Instructions:
1. Marinate the chicken:
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Make sure all the chicken pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
2. Prepare the flour mixture:
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, and spices. This is where you can get creative and add your favorite spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper. Set aside.
3. Heat the oil:
In a deep pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
4. Coat the chicken:
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Place the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and coat them thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour before placing them in the hot oil.
5. Fry the chicken:
Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
6. Drain and serve:
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain off any excess oil. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy your delicious Christmas fried chicken.
Now that you have a professional and well-organized recipe for Christmas fried chicken, it's time to put on your chef's hat and impress your loved ones with this mouth-watering dish. Happy holidays and happy cooking!
