Homemade KFC-Style Fried Chicken Recipe 🍗😋 – Page 2

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, basil, and ginger powder.
Add the chicken pieces and coat well.
Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results) in the fridge.

2. Prepare the Coating Mixture

In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper.

3. Coat the Chicken

Take each marinated chicken piece and dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coat.
For extra crispiness, dip it back into the marinade, then coat again in the flour mixture (double coating).
Place the coated chicken on a tray and let it rest for 10-15 minutes (this helps the coating stick better).

4. Fry the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the chicken pieces (don’t overcrowd the pan) and fry for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
For larger pieces (like thighs), fry a little longer (up to 18 minutes) until fully cooked (internal temp should reach 165°F/74°C).
Drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.

5. Serve & Enjoy!

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Best enjoyed with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or fries!

Tips for Perfect KFC-Style Chicken:

✔ Double coating = Extra crispy!
✔ Marinate overnight for maximum flavor.
✔ Maintain oil temperature—too hot = burnt outside, too cold = soggy.
✔ Air fryer option? Yes! Spray with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 mins, flipping halfway.
