Fried Chicken

Fried Chicken

Be the first to review!
You can’t top a proper piece of crispy fried chicken for comfort. You will find the sort of thing with a golden, well seasoned crust giving way to meat that is tender and juicy. There is buttermilk in the mix so the flour adheres properly; let it rest for a bit to thicken the coating into a paste and you have an added crunch on top of that. Fry it in hot oil and cover the pan to see it through, then uncover at the end for some crispiness. It is a solid skillet-style chicken recipe, just right for a weekend or a casual get together, or when you are putting something on the table for the family.
