KFC Fried Chicken

KFC Fried Chicken

Chicken pieces are soaked in seasoned buttermilk with Knorr Liquid Seasoning, then coated in a blend of flour, thyme, basil, oregano, paprika, and garlic salt before being deep-fried until the crust is shatteringly golden and the meat stays juicy.

Prep: 15 min Cook: 10 min

Ingredients

  • 3 large bs chicken (cut into pieces)
  • 4 cup cooking oil
  • 2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp Knorr Liquid Seasoning
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp thyme
  • 0.5 tsp basil
  • 1.33 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried mustard
  • 4 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 tsp white pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Knorr Liquid Seasoning and buttermilk in a large bowl. Mix well.

  2. Add chicken pieces. Marinate for at least 3 hours.

  3. Combine the breading ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix well.

  4. Take off the chicken from the marinade bowl letting excess liquid drip. Dredge the chicken pieces into the breading mixture making sure that each piece is completely coated. Let it stay for at least 5 minutes.

  5. Heat cooking oil in a deep cooking pot (Note: I cooked mine using a pressure cooker. This is called pressure frying). Deep fry the chicken pieces until the internal temperature reads 165F. Note: You may decide to pressure fry the chicken but be extra careful. If doing so, make sure that the oil is more than 350F before adding the chicken. Deep fry for 1 minute uncovered before sealing the pressure cooker. Pressure-cook at not more than 350F between 7 to 8 minutes only (do not cook it longer). Release the pressure from the cooker and remove the chicken.

  6. Arrange the fried chicken on a wire rack for the oil to drip. Serve with chicken gravy and your favorite sides.
