I Made Fried Chicken For The First Time Today by TheRealAdonye(m): 10:29pm On Apr 25, 2015 |
I knew today was going to be a lazy Saturday so I had made plans to try something new in the kitchen. I decided it was going to be KFC styled Fried Chicken. I spent the week familiarizing myself with different recipes I came across. I was at the market yesterday to get the remaining ingredients which I needed and were not available in my kitchen. Recipe: Colonel Sanders' recipe had 11 spices. These are Paprika, Onion powder, Salt, Sage, Allspice, Garlic, Oregano, Chili, Black pepper, Marjoram and Basil. I wasn't able to get all the spices but I made do with what I had, so here goes. 1 tablespoon of Black Pepper 1 tablespoon of Thyme (substitute for Basil) 1 tablespoon of ground garlic (I couldn't get Garlic powder so I bought the fresh one and used approx. 1 cm of it) 2 tablespoons of Salt 1 tablespoon of Onion powder ( I used half of a medium sized Onion instead) 4 cloves of Ginger (not in the recipe but because Individuality) In addition, 3 cups of All-purpose Flour 1 tin of Milk 2 fresh eggs Chicken. I was ready to begin. Cc MissyB3 Tjskii Lalasticlala Ishilove 14 Likes 12 Shares

Next, I mixed the dry spices together with the flour. I also mixed the Egg and Milk in a different container. Whisk the egg before mixing with the milk. It's easier that way. 5 Likes

I used a deep fryer and set the temperature to 160 degrees Celsius to heat up the oil. Actually I did this before coating the Chicken so by the time I was done coating, the oil was hot enough. I carefully lowered the chicken in the fryer 2 at a time. NB: You can use a pan if you don't have a deep fryer but I'll recommend a Skillet. Turn from side to side at regular intervals say 2 minutes then after 4 minutes, turn again. Depending on the size, the Chicken should be fully cooked in 10-19 minutes. Mine took 14. If you have a meat thermometer, you check the internal temperature is at least 71 degrees Celsius. 10 Likes 3 Shares

Lessons: This was my first time and if you've ever had a first time ![]() 1. Shake off excess flour after dipping it in the mix if not na Buns go surround your Chicken. 2. Beware of Salt. Adjust the recipe to what you have. 2 tablespoons of salt might be a bit too much depending on what you are working with. 3. Have enough oil. It's called deep frying for a reason. 4. Except you are absolutely sure that your hand is drier than the Sahara, please don't drop the Chicken in the Oil with your hand. Biko. Also don't drop it from a distance, bring the Chicken as close as you can. 5. It can be tempting to remove the Chicken before time. Don't. Except you like pink insides with a hint of blood. 6. Keep the Chicken on a serviette for a while when its removed from the oil. Enough said. 7. Note to self: A Meat and Normal thermometer is a necessity. This is the first try. I'm on the lookout for the rest of the spices. Anyone who knows where I can purchase them in PH should please let me know. It's been a Pleasure. 31 Likes 4 Shares |

Taste was heavenly. Didn't quite achieve the KFC taste which I was aiming for but I tried, I think. By the way, you should definitely give it a try. Please let me know how it goes. sassychic: |
