EASY COPYCAT KFC CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour with the herbs and spices and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in another large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg, mixing until they're well combined.
• Add the chicken to the buttermilk bowl and toss to coat. Cover the bowl lightly with plastic wrap or a lid and let it sit for 30 minutes, or as long as overnight. If marinade times exceed 30 minutes, place the bowl in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 175 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set an oven-safe wire cooling rack inside the sheet and set aside.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat about 3 inches of oil. If you're using an electric tabletop fryer, fill the unit to its MAX line.
• Preheat the oil to 350 degrees over medium-high heat, using a deep-frying thermometer to check the temperature. When the oil reaches 350 degrees, reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Remove a chicken piece from the buttermilk, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Place the piece in the flour mixture and press down firmly, allowing the flour to adhere on all sides. Shake off any excess flour and carefully drop the chicken into the hot oil. Continue dredging chicken until the fryer is full but not overcrowded; you should be able to fry three to four pieces at a time.
• Cook the chicken for about 12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the crust turns an appealing golden brown color.
• Transfer the chicken pieces to the prepared baking sheet and place it in the oven.
• Allow the oil to return to temperature before adding more chicken. Repeat the dredging and frying process with the remaining pieces of chicken.
• When all the chicken is fried, let the pieces sit in the oven until each reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
• Sprinkle each piece of chicken with a few shakes of MSG before serving. If you're unsure about food additives like MSG, feel free to skip the extra seasoning.

COPYCAT KFC™ ORIGINAL-STYLE CHICKEN

Steps:

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

NAKED ORIGINAL KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN (KFC COPYCAT RECIPE)

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon Sriracha. The Sriracha it totally optional, but I think it adds another subtle layer of heat to the chicken.
• Soak skinless chicken pieces in buttermilk mixture for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
• Combine the dry herbs, spices, and brown sugar in the jar of a small food processor (or clean coffee grinder) and pulverize until uniform in texture.
• In a large self-sealing plastic bag or medium bowl, combine flour and pulverized spice mix. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine egg and the second cup of buttermilk. Set aside.
• Remove chicken from buttermilk pre-soak. Discard any remaining buttermilk mixture from the Soak.
• Dip each piece of chicken in the egg and buttermilk mixture and shake once to remove excess. Drop into bag or bowl of Chicken Mix and dredge to coat. Remove with tongs and rest on wire rack while you complete dredging the rest of the chicken pieces.
• Allow chicken to rest at least 10 minutes on rack. [See Notes]
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a heavy sheet pan with foil and set aside. (I like to spray the foil with a little cooking spray to alleviate sticking)
• Pour 1/3-1/2 inch of oil into a deep cast iron or other heavy skillet. Heat skillet over medium heat until the oil reaches a temperature of 350°- 360° F. You can also use an electric skillet for this step. In this case, set the temperature to 325°F.
• Fry chicken in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from oil and set on wire rack while you finish the rest of the chicken. Allow oil to come back up to temperature between batches.
• Place the fried chicken on the prepared sheet pan and place in preheated oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until chicken is done and juices run clear. Breasts will take 30-40 minutes, legs and thighs 20-25, and wings 10-15 minutes.
• Remove chicken to a clean wire rack and allow it to rest for at 10 minutes before serving.
