Craving the finger-lickin' goodness of KFC? Look no further! With this easy recipe, you can recreate the perfect KFC-style chicken right in the comfort of your own kitchen. Get ready for a delicious homemade version that will satisfy your taste buds. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
Chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, or breasts)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Take each piece of chicken and coat it thoroughly with the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere to the coating. Set the coated chicken pieces aside on a plate.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be deep enough to fully submerge the chicken pieces.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces, a few at a time, into the skillet. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pan, as it can lower the oil temperature and affect the crispiness.
Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until it becomes golden brown and crispy. Ensure the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken pieces until they are all cooked to perfection.
Serve your homemade KFC-style chicken hot and enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness!
Note: Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your preference by adding more or less of the seasonings. Serve your KFC-inspired chicken with your favorite sides and sauces for the complete experience.
Now you can savor the taste of KFC right at home with this easy and delicious recipe. Enjoy your finger-lickin' homemade KFC feast!
