KFC fried chicken recipe, how to make crispy fried chicken (KFC style)

This is an updated recipe. With time and experience we get better in cooking, day after day and this is what happened with me and felt this is one of the best and easy KFC fried chicken recipe that can be made at home.

Its a trade secret which no one knows how KFC makes the best tasting chicken. But there can definitely be a no better and healthier way to enjoy a fried chicken than to prepare at home. Healthier and a deep fried chicken! though not really.

There are no pesky ingredients like ajjinomotto or what so ever in my recipe. You can try using brown bread crumbs or pulsed oats or pulsed corn flakes for a healthier choice.

For the best look, use bread crumbs that are not too coarse, using coarse crumbs makes the chicken look husky like the one in pictures. If using dried rosemary, crush it well and then add.

However an healthiest way is to bake the chicken, check out my baked chicken fingers to learn how to bake it.

This best fried chicken recipe can be used to fry chicken drumsticks too, but i had a not so good experience frying them. The drumsticks were cracked and the inner part began to splash on to me while frying. I suggest drumsticks if you are experienced in choosing the right ones for deepfrying else it will mess up the oil and discolor the chicken.

how to make kfc fried chicken at home with step by step pictures

1. Wash chicken well. you can use either large fillets or drumsticks. drain off excess water.
2. To the chicken, add ginger garlic, lemon juice, red chili powder, turmeric, rosemary, salt, pepper powder, flour, garam masala and egg. Marinate well

3. If you have enough time, you can refrigerate for about 45 minutes.
4. Pour the bread crumbs over the chicken. Mix well and set aside for at least 10 minutes for the bread crumbs to cling on to the chicken well.

5. Heat oil in a heavy bottom deep pan/kadai and fry till golden at medium high temperature. If the oil is very hot or is at very high temperature, chicken gets browned fast without getting cooked inside. The oil should be hot enough and the flame at medium high.

Enjoy with your favorite ketchup.
