Knockoff KFC Fried Chicken, the chicken recipe to put KFC’s 11 Herbs and Spices recipe to shame! lol!
Perfect for picnics and family dinners.
Method
-
Combine all the marinade ingredients to make the marinade.
-
Trim any excess fat and skin from the chicken pieces and marinate them for a couple of hours.
-
Mix the milk with the egg in a bowl.
-
Combine the other dry ingredients in another bowl.
-
Drain the marinated chicken on paper towels.
-
Dip each chicken piece in the egg and milk, and then coat it in the dry flour mixture.
-
Dip into the egg and milk mixture again then back in the flour. Make sure every piece is well coated.
-
Preheat the shortening in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
-
Stack the chicken on a plate until each piece is coated.
-
Drop the chicken pieces into the hot shortening, one at a time with tongs being careful not to splash any of the hot oil to avoid burns. Oven mits are a good idea.

Fry 4 pieces of chicken at a time until golden brown.

This will take 12 to 15 minutes. Stir the chicken halfway through the cooking time for an even finish.
