Ingredients Required
2-3 pounds of chicken pieces
1 quart Water
3 tablespoons Salt (used for soaking)
1 cup milk
1 egg beaten
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon Accent (MSG)
1 tablespoon salt (for recipe)
1 teaspoon black pepper
Soybean Oil (do not substitute) for frying
Instructions
- Place chicken into large bowl of salted water and allow to soak for approximately 30 minutes.
- Beat egg and mix with milk in a bowl. Add and mix flour, Accent, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
- Preheat deepfryer to 350F, or place 3/4 inch oil in a skillet set on medium.
- Remove and dry chicken using paper towels.
- Place in flour mixture, place in milk/eggs mixture, and then back into flour mixture. Do this one piece at a time making sure that each piece is covered completely during each step.
- KFC uses pressure cookers to fry chicken, which I don't recommend you do at home. If you are using a deep fryer, cook a few pieces at a time for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Similarly, if pan frying, cook covered, turning occasionally for about 25 - 30 minutes.
- Make sure you check the middle of the largest chicken piece cooked to check for doneness. (No pink)
- When done, allow chicken pieces drain on paper towels.
