CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN
I experimented for many years before developing this recipe. It's bits and pieces of hints I had heard over the years. I have had many compliments on this chicken. Most of this recipe is dependant on your own taste. It's more a matter of preparation and cooking method!

Steps:
- Take your cut up chicken pieces and skin them if you prefer. Put the flour in a large plastic bag (let the amount of chicken you are cooking dictate the amount of flour you use). Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken).
- Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. LET SIT UNTIL THE FLOUR IS OF A PASTE-LIKE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
- Fill a large skillet (cast iron is best) about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until VERY hot. Put in as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
- Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.

CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Season the chicken pieces with Essence. Pour 2 cups of the buttermilk over the chicken and cover with plastic wrap. Place the chicken in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 hour.
- Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain. Season the flour with Essence. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining buttermilk. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the chicken pieces back in the seasoned flour, coating each piece of the chicken completely. Carefully lay the chicken in the hot oil. Fry the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
SECRET INGREDIENT BEST JUICY FRIED CHICKEN
The chicken soup and cornstarch is the secret ingredient to this delicious mouth watering juicy fried chicken, if desired you may brown the chicken pieces firstly in a little oil then finish cooking in the oven, don't bother using a different flavor of condensed soup it will not be good, this also works well using skin on chicken thighs or drumsticks, it's best to use all the same so the chicken will cook at the same time, there is enough batter for 6 large skin on chicken thighs --- plan slightly ahead as the coated chicken needs to sit at room temperature until it becomes doughy --- this is delicious!

Steps:
- In a shallow dish or bowl combine egg with soup and 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt; mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add the chicken pieces and using your clean hands toss to coat completely; set aside or you may refrigerate until ready to finish making the recipe.
- In a medium bowl mix together flour with cornstarch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Working with one piece of chicken at a time, place the soup-coated chicken into the flour mixture and toss to coat completely.
- Add more flour and/or cornstarch if necessary adding them in equal parts (there should be an equal amount of each in the mixture, if you add in 2 tablespoons flour you must add in 2 tablespoons cornstarch with the flour).
- Place the coated chicken on a rack and allow to sit until it becomes doughy (THIS IS A CRUCIAL STEP to ensure crispiness when fried).
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat (be certain to use enough oil to cover the chicken pieces).
- Once the chicken is doughy test oil by dropping in a piece of the "dough" into it the oil is ready when it stars to fry immediately.
- Fry chicken pieces in oil for about 10 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
- Drain on a rack.
CRISPY SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
This recipe was passed on to me from a county club I used to work at as a teenager. The breading is thin and crispy, not the thick flour kind. Its so easy and its a delicious meal for the family. The perfect comfort food!

Steps:
- In a large bowl beat the eggs and add the chicken to coat.
- In another large bowl with a lid, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, pepper and accent seasoning.
- Preheat oil to 375°F I would recommend using a thermometer to monitor the temperature - temperature is important. A clip-on candy/deep-fry thermometer should be kept in the pot at all times, so that you can monitor the temperature accurately.
- Add the chicken to the flour mixture and place the lid on the bowl. Shake the bowl vigorously to coat the chicken.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before frying. You can preheat your oil at this time.
- When the oil has reached 375° F carefully add the chicken to the oil. Try not to overcrowd, the temperature of the oil will drop but you don't want it to drop below 300°F Keep it at 300° F to 325° F while the chicken fries.
- Fry chicken for 8-12 minutes each side, turning the chicken over half way through (ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F when using an instant read thermometer).
- Drain the chicken on paper towels. You can place in a 170° F oven to keep the chicken warm if you have more chicken to fry.
- When frying more chicken let the oil get back up to 375° F again.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts and buttermilk into a large resealable plastic bag, knead several times to coat chicken with buttermilk, and squeeze air from the bag. Seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Placed crushed herb-seasoned stuffing mix into a shallow bowl. Mix flour, salt, and black pepper in a separate flat dish. Beat egg with water in a bowl. Pour peanut oil into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Remove chicken from buttermilk, shake off excess buttermilk, and discard used buttermilk marinade. Dredge chicken breasts in seasoned flour. Dip each floured breast in egg, then press gently into stuffing mix to coat. Place coated chicken breasts into the pan with peanut oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Turn each chicken breast over and continue baking until chicken pieces are no longer pink inside and the coating is crisp, about 25 more minutes.
