Also, mustard helps keeps the meat moist and gives it another dimension of flavor.

[@GreenYoshi3881]

Yesssss gotta have that mustard ❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnhostetler2167]

Another good tip is to fry your chicken in pork fat, it gives the chicken an extra layer of flavor, just get some pork belly put it in a crockpot with water, let it cook until all the water boils away then you can save the pork belly for another meal and use that delicious oil to cook your chicken, it just gives the chicken a little smokey bacony flavor

Literally showed my southern mother this and she is confused. She couldn’t figure out why this is so complicated. Just use shelf rising flour, baking powder. Season the raw chicken and the flour mix with basic salt, pepper and garlic powder or just use Tony’s for ease. You can either shake in a bag, toss in a bowl or hand coat… now fry. Literally how it’s been done since the 1800s

[@NYCRhythm]

It does come out a little crispier when you use the double fry method. But it is an extra step

[@lamarbanks9268]

Marinade chicken in pickle juice, Add Chipotle powder corn starch, smoke paprika, self rising flour, honey dust salt pepper baking powder, onion powder, double fry, all purpose flour 325° then 350°

[@MisFit...ButGod]

Baking powder is in the self rising flour the next ingredient would be corn starch

[@MisFit...ButGod]

One thing he also said is that self rising flour has baking soda in it, and it does not, so you definitely need to add it.

[@mrsmartypants_1]

@@MisFit...ButGodIt does. Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour and baking powder. (Baking powder is mostly baking soda with some cream of tarter (mild acid). Some also contains a little corn starch so it pours better).

However, it was actually slavery and segregation that made this dish more mainstream. Slaves were generally allowed to keep chickens, so frying them on special occasions became a tradition. Segregation also made it difficult for African Americans to access some restaurants, so the method of frying chicken to preserve them became popular throughout. It is also said that African American soldiers during the Korean War passed on the knowledge of frying chicken to the Koreans, hence the birth of Korean Fried Chicken. (2/3)

That pressure fryer is what made it crispy. You can fry your chichen in a pressure cooker. Self rising flower does help but the pickle juice works because it doesn't cause the flour to fall apart in the oil. Most marinades do. Re-frying at a much higher temp synches the deal.
