The BEST Homemade Fried Chicken | Super CRISPY

Check out @Whats In De Pot 's video here : • How to make Oven Baked...
My ABSOLUTE favorite fried chicken, other than KFC from Trinidad and Tobago, is from Popeyes! Today, I’m sharing their secrets with you. Do you love crispy fried chicken that’s juicy and flavorful all the way to the bone? That’s exactly what you’ll get when you try this recipe.
You need:
5lbs of chicken, washed with lemon juice/white vinegar
BRINE:
4 cups of buttermilk or 4 cups of milk + 5 tablespoons of white distilled vinegar.
Herbs & Spices (1 tablespoon of each)
• Dried bandhania/cilantro*
• Dried parsley
• Onion powder
• Paprika
• Oregano
• Extra hot chili powder
• Scotch bonnet powder (Tony’s Trinidad)*
• Dill
• 1 packet of Goya Sazon
• Cayenne
• Garlic powder
• MSG is a key ingredient, so if you have it, add 2 teaspoons.
-2 tablespoons of vinegar-based hot sauce/pepper sauce
-2 tablespoons of salt
WET BATTER
• 2 cups of flour
• 2 cups of cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• ½ of the herb & spice blend (ingredients below)
• 2 cups of buttermilk
• 4 eggs
• ¼- ½ cup of water (use soda water or seltzer water as a substitute)
• 1 tablespoon of mustard (or use mustard powder)
2ND HERB & SPICE BLEND
4 tablespoons of salt
1 packet of sazon
1 tablespoon of each-
• Ground cumin/geera
• Oregano
• Onion powder
• Dill
• Cayenne
• Paprika
• Dried bandhania/culantro *
• Hot chili powder
• Turmeric powder
• Garlic powder
• Parsley
• MSG is a key ingredient (add 2 teaspoons if you have)
DRY FLOUR
4 cups of flour
½ of spice blend above
You will also need oil for frying. Popeyes uses a mixture of beef tallow and soybean oil.
Fry the chicken for 12 minutes. Dark meat should have an internal temperature of 175 F and white meat- 150-155 F.

I would love to see a collaboration between chef Jason in Trinidad and yourself perhaps the next time you visit Trinidad. Just a suggestion. Keep well and stay safe.

[@hughmungas323]

Lovely video hun but why use the temp in fahrenheit luv 99.98 of sane, normal people use degrees celsius like trinidad and tobago

[@11BravoBaker]

Hello Ma'am how are you doing? I currently am just now seeing this receipt and cannot wait to try it I know its the bomb!, I have a few questions regarding the brining could I let this marinade for 12 hours such as "Popeyes"in the refrigerator? and my other question is what's the difference between brining it for 4 hours, and longer than that as in regards to the chicken texture and the flavor and the crunch? and what oil would be the best oil to cook this chicken in?

[@jerryduncan1585]

Looks great

[@maryramsumair8592]

[@musiclover2606]

Looks divine However any suggestions for the left over seasoned buttermilk

[@TasteofTrini]

Thanks! The leftover seasoned buttermilk has to be thrown out because the chicken was sitting in it overnight.

[@C.R.007]

Omg this looks so dam delicious. Shoot. I have to try this recipe Reshmi 😀😀😀😀😀😀 And I am not one who usually eats much meat, especially chicken, but I have a serious craving for fried chicken now😖😖😖😖😖 Dang it.

Reshmi girl you having us all on a serious mission now for this fried chicken lmao 😂😂😂 Thank you for sharing the recipe, much appreciated. Keep shining your love and positivity. C.R.

[@joseborjas9011]

Awesome!!!vídeo.

[@guyanesetothebone6074]

Oh my gosh delicious 😋 😋 😋

[@justinrichards7615]

I followed the recipe but deboned about 5lbs of of chicken thighs for chicken sandwiches. It turned out perfectly! Thanks! The only thing is I was left with most of the wet batter, well over half. The dry was pretty on point though.

[@gregorybennett4665]

I will be trying this tomorrow, but you didn't give any measurements, is it safe to use a tablespoon for the seasonings

[@TasteofTrini]

Awesome! All the ingredients are in the description box 🙂

[@JoanHomeMadeMeals]

Yummy n crispy

[@carolking8835]

So you know I am suffering from an acute case of food envy!! Yup🍗🍗🍟🍟😍 😀😛😂 Be safe and my complements to Kevin on his knife skills on the chicken. ☺

[@faroudbaksk1196]

[@loveking1461]

Yummy 🤤😋

[@Blztrls]

I looked through several videos searching for a good Popeyes recipe and this is by far the most comprehensive and authentic looking. I don’t have all the ingredients but just following the 3 step brining wet then dry battering will up my fried chicken quality quite a bit. Thanks for posting it.

[@TasteofTrini]

Hi David! So glad to hear that. Happy frying! Let me know how it turns out!
