Southern fried chicken
Help please, the web is telling me two ways, dry chicken, spiced flour roll, then buttermilk then spice mix again . Then the other way,
Soaked in buttermilk then one roll in spice mix then fry.
I know you guys can steer me in the right direction. I'm watching Thomas Keller videos. I have the spice mix pretty much up to date, just need the method you use.
T.i.a.

Re: Southern fried chicken
I do a wet mix with egg and milk and then a dry mix of flour with S&P.
After the grease is hot enuff, I double dip in both mixes.
(first into wet and then into dry THEN back into wet and into dry for the second time each)
THEN fry until done, turning over once

Re: Southern fried chicken
One more thing I try not to do is to fry the battered Chicken too fast. I prefer to slow fry and cook until batter is nice and brown.

Re: Southern fried chicken
Honestly I have never checked the temp but I would guess around 300/325. I just use a pinch of dry mix while heating the grease/oil and start frying when it begins to sizzle the pinch of flour. If it appears to be not hot enuff or too hot I adjust with the burner while frying. Another thing that I NEVER DO is deep fry. I always fry in a Skillet.

Re: Southern fried chicken
The only reason I choose this way is because you can easily end up with crispy outside and reddish at the bones.
However, next time I'm gonna check the temp with my Therma Pen to see exactly what I'm doing. HAHAHAHA

Re: Southern fried chicken
I'm no chicken frying expert but I recall reading that after wet/dry coating you should let the chicken "rest" before frying. Something along the lines of 10 minutes or so. Again.....

Re: Southern fried chicken
Thanks so much, I'm following parts lead, but I have a deep frier that I can adjust temps. Cooking at 170c. I'll put pics up later.
