Kentucky Fried Chicken

Chicken · United States classic.

Ingredients

• 1 whole Chicken
• 2 quarts neutral frying Oil
• 1 Egg White
• 1 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Onion salt
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Celery salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Sage
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon Oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon Basil
• 1/2 teaspoon Marjoram

Method

1. Preheat the oven — Preheat fryer to 350°F. Thoroughly mix together all the spice mix ingredients.
2. Mix together — Combine spice mix with flour, brown sugar and salt.
3. Mix together — Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat them, then transfer to flour mixture.
4. Mix together — Turn a few times and make sure the flour mix is really stuck to the chicken.
5. Continue cooking — Repeat with all the chicken pieces. Let chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes so crust has a chance to dry a bit.
6. Fry — Fry chicken in batches. Breasts and wings should take 12-14 minutes, and legs and thighs will need a few more minutes.
7. Continue cooking — Chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
8. Fry — Let chicken drain on a few paper towels when it comes out of the fryer. Serve hot.
