Fried Chicken (The Best)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



If you’re a long time follower of my blog, you have seen recipes for fried chicken. I’ve always loved fried chicken and in moderation, will continue to eat fried chicken. You may ask, “why make it when you can order or pick up”? True, but I like the challenge and sometimes the easiest food ideas are the most difficult to execute.

What’s so hard? Chicken, seasoned flour and fry. That’s the basic concept but to do it to perfection…that takes a good recipe and execution.

I saw this recipe on youtube recently, made it yesterday and here I am sharing the triumph. I’ve made some adjustments: I am going with my dry brine of salt, sugar and vodka…it’s like a cure of the chicken (trust me).

I like sauces with my chicken and I made a Honey-Sriracha sauce that you can drizzle on your chicken or dip as you go.
