Crispy Golden Fried Chicken without the Fuss // Step by Step

Many people are afraid of making fried chicken, or so I've heard, but i think it's so easy, and I'm gonna show you how to make it step by step. There is nothing worse than bland fried chicken, and i have played around with seasonings until i got it just right. I season the chicken well, double dip and watch the temperature of the oil carefully. I like to keep my oil temperature between 325° and 335° and I've been using my Presto Cool Daddy fryer for a long time, but if you're frying on the stove in a pot it's important to keep an eye on the temperature because all stoves are different and you don't want to burn or under cook your chicken...steady frying is the key. I hope you give this recipe a try.❤️
325° - 335°
INGREDIENTS _____________________
Canola oil (enough to cover chicken)
3 Chicken legs with skin
3 Chicken Thighs with bone and skin

TIPS________
● If frying on stove top, watch oil temperature carefully because all stoves are different and deep fryers are different then regular pots.
● Dry chicken well before seasoning and breading.
● Start with Flour breading first then wet ingredients
● Double dip chicken in wet and dry ingredients
● approx 18 minutes for legs and 20-23 minutes for thighs
● INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF FRIED CHICKEN SHOULD BE ABOUT 165°

What memories you brought me today my dear Rachel as once again you took me right back to me mama's kitchen with her standing in front of her stove frying us up her fried chicken. She would get up and actually fry me a chicken leg when I was in first grade because I was such a picky eater. Being a picky eater is not my problem now a days....lol! Perfect recipe and I'll definitely try yours as I've also mastered the art of frying up soy chicken for my Johnny. Happy Spring our beautiful friends! May the Lord bless y'all greatly this upcoming season starting by giving y'all a wonderful week. Huge hugs and lots and lots of love sent with a fresh bouquet of flowers my loving amiga.

It was my favorite breakfast meal. I miss her SO much! I would love it if you would share your recipe please 🙏 ❤
