Classic Fried Chicken (compare to the Colonel)
Prep Time: 1 hr; Cook Time: 30 min; Total Time: 1 hr, 30 min.
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground thyme
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 TBSP celery salt
- 1 TBSP black pepper
- 1 TBSP dry mustard powder
- 4 ½ TBSP paprika
- 2 TBSP garlic salt
- 1 TBSP ground ginger
- 3 TBSP white pepper
- 1 tsp Accent
- 1 chicken, cut into pieces – 2 wings, 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, 2 breasts
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Oil for frying, vegetable or canola
Instructions:
- Prepare the flour mixture for dredging by mixing the flour and the salt, thyme, basil, oregano, celery salt, black pepper, dry mustard, paprika, garlic salt, ginger, white pepper, and Accent in a bowl large enough to rake chicken pieces through. Stir together with a fork or whisk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
- Place the chicken in the buttermilk mixture. Allow it to soak for 45 min.
- Set up your workstation with a wire rack resting on a baking sheet.
- Take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat the chicken in the flour, shaking to remove any excess.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes on the wire rack. (Clean the wire rack afterward and put it back for draining after cooking is complete.)
- Heat the oil for frying in a deep fryer or a Dutch oven filled halfway with oil. Maintain the temperature at 350° throughout cooking.
- Cook the chicken a few pieces at a time. The bigger pieces will take about fifteen minutes while the smaller will take about twelve.
- Allow the chicken to drain on the cleaned wire rack and serve with your favorite sides.
