Notes

  • Brine the chicken to infuse maximum flavour in chicken and make the chicken moist and juicy even after frying.
  • Use chicken with skins on and bone in. The skins is what gives super crispy chicken.
  • Make sure the seasoned flour is heavily seasoned, since it is only flavour you add to the chicken.
  • Squeeze the chicken well when coating it in seasoned flour. This adds the flaky texture to the chicken.
  • Fry the chicken covered during the first 7 minutes. This ensure the chicken cooks all the way through.
  • Make sure you adjust the heat accordingly when frying.
  • Chicken stock powder is important for the authentic taste in fried chicken.
