I have a few tips and notes that you should definitely pay attention to before making this KFC fried chicken recipe.
Choosing your chicken for deep frying
Some people place a lot of importance on various pieces of fryer chicken.
If you do, you probably already know that legs and wings cook much faster than chicken breasts and thighs.
Instead of cooking a whole chicken or a variety of parts, I’ve found it much easier to make batches of any kind of chicken (not just this KFC recipe) using the same cut of chicken for all the pieces.
Knowing that they all cook at the same pace helps me be more efficient in the kitchen.
If I’m just feeding my husband and kids chicken I usually cook all drumsticks. They’re the easiest for my kids to eat!
Deep frying this KFC fried chicken
KFC fried chicken made in actual restaurants is cooked in an industrial pressure fryer.
The average person doesn’t own one, so your cooking method won’t be identical to how KFC makes their fried chicken.
A tabletop deep fryer is the most controlled way to deep fry at home, but make sure you have one big enough to fry more than two or three pieces of chicken at a time. This deep fryer is the right size with excellent reviews.
Deep frying chicken without a deep fryer? If you’re not up to owning a deep fryer, you can use a heavy pot on the stove, especially if you’re frying smaller pieces.
I’ve seen some huge chicken breasts and really plump chicken thighs in the grocery store, so make sure the sizes will fit in your pan of choice.
If you do some research on deep frying on a stove, you’ll hardly see any recommendations for using anything other than a frying pan.
I find this strange–I wish more people would suggest deep frying in dutch ovens. Using a deep pot minimizes splatters, which is a big deal where I’m concerned.
Plus, there are a million uses for a heavy dutch oven. If you have one you’ll use is for far more than just one fried chicken recipe!
