Hey, I’m trying to make fried chicken. I MUST today, for the sake of my future confidence and the joy of my day TODAY. I want to use chicken breast, thighs are too fatty for me.
How? I’m looking up recipes but they all seem so disingenuous. I know that sounds stupid, but I thought maybe asking real people would give me a better chance.
Chicken breast, buttermilk. Those are the only ingredients I feel like I must use. Anyone have any advice on the fried chicken? I’ve got regular canola oil, olive oil, extra virgin, and I’m waiting to visit the grocery store. I was about to go but I just don’t feel confident. Please, anyone have a list of ingredients worth using together?
Thank
Pro Tip: Before breading the chicken sprinkle a bit of the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Use a fork or slotted spoon to dip and sprinkle.
This creates little nuggets of coating that will give your finished food a bit more crunch.
YES SIR/MA’AM. That sounds delicious
Sir, but Dru is fine. Happy cooking!
Protip: sieve out the beads later and deep fry those too.
Between grue and justanotherperson, they nailed exactly how my mamaw did it. The double fry is essential for the texture and even cooking, and you ain’t getting better than buttermilk and pickle juice as a brine.
