Top Secret Recipes Extra Crispy Chicken
THE CRISPIEST FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY
We tested dozens of different methods to fried chicken and we finally found what we think is the crispiest and juiciest version. The first step is to dry brine the chicken, which is a fancy way of saying to season it overnight. This process actually helps the meat retain its moisture while frying, making it extra juicy. The next step is the double-dredge method where you dip the chicken in seasoned flour, then in buttermilk, then back in the flour before frying to get those extra crackly bits. Let us know what you think!

Steps:
- Dry brine the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon zest.
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and season with the salt mixture, evenly coating each piece.
- Line a large resealable container with paper towels and add the seasoned chicken. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- 30 minutes before frying, remove the chicken from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature.
- Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set nearby.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg whites, and vodka.
- Working with one piece at a time, coat the dry-brined chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, then again in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Add 2-3 pieces of chicken to the hot oil and fry for 7-10 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil, transfer to the wire rack, and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Enjoy!

10 TRICKS TO PERFECTING ULTRA-CRISPY CHICKEN - KITCHN
From thekitchn.com
- Use a crispy coating — and toast it. Of all the ways to get chicken crispy, oven-baking is the hardest. Starting with an already-crispy coating will get you at least halfway to that goal.
- Cut the chicken for quick cooking. Faster cooking means less steam making your crispy coating soggy. You can cut the chicken into nuggets, strips, or even butterfly the breasts into thin cutlets.
- Coat with mayo for deep-fried flavor. Fat carries flavor, helps crisp oven-baked chicken coating, and makes it taste more like it’s fried counterpart — and mayo has plenty of fat and helps the crispy breadcrumbs stick.
- Pound the chicken thin. A lesson I learned from schnitzel, the coating and the chicken need to cook at about the same rate for moist but crisp pan-fried chicken.
- Use smaller breadcrumbs for coating. Counter to oven-baked crispy chicken, pan-fried chicken actually does best with smaller traditional breadcrumbs, rather than larger panko crumbs.
