1. Fried Chicken Recipes
With a crispy coating that shatters and
gives way to a tender, juicy meat, it’s no wonder
fried chicken is one of the most enjoyed food all
over the world. Every restaurant and home has
their own fried chicken recipes, with variations on
coating and marinade to dips and gravy.
The recipes in this collection are not
exception: we have buttermilk fried chicken,
fried chicken breast strips, fried chicken with chilli
spices, and oven fried chicken. It represents the
many ways you can season and cook fried
chicken. Most often than not, the fried chicken
recipes are foolproof, especially if you take the time to visit gourmet recipes with pictures
prepare the chicken beforehand and watch it well as it fries on the deep fryer.
The best parts to make into fried chicken are the drumsticks, the thighs and the
wings. The breast, which has more meat, can be sliced into strips, breaded and fried so
the meat cooks well and maintains the golden brown crust without burning from staying
too long in the fryer. Don’t crowd the pieces in the pan because it will make the
temperature warm and not hot as you want it.
Many fried chicken recipes are usually the breaded or battered variety, which
contributes to the formation of the crunchy coating. Once the chicken parts are
cleaned, it’s seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper, dredged in flour, dipped in a bowl of
beaten egg, and then finally coated with breadcrumbs. Other breading ingredients
include crushed cereal flakes, potato flakes and Japanese breadcrumbs or panko (which
has bigger crumbs).
In addition to the breading, some fried chicken recipes marinate the chicken
pieces in buttermilk overnight. Somehow the buttermilk contributes to making the chicken
tender, moist and flavorful. Other gourmet food recipes of fried chicken recipes will add
seasoning ingredients to make the fried chicken either spicy, garlicky, tangy or sweet and
spicy.
You may have come across Korean-style fried chicken which double fries the
chicken and coats it in a tasty sweet-spicy glaze. That’s another kind of fried chicken and
shows how versatile fried chicken recipes can be. Or how simple. The crisp crust can be
achieved also with just salt and pepper (the chicken skin will be the crunchiest in the
chicken if it has no breading).
If you’re concerned about the fat and calories, follow the usual breaded chicken
recipe and cook the chicken inside an oven instead of deep frying it in hot oil. You don’t
introduce any oil into the chicken by doing that. Remember though that nothing beats
good old fried chicken hot off the frying pan and into your plate. A little bit greasy but
ultimately a delight.
