KFC and All Fried Chicken

you need to have the oil to 350 degrees and it should float when it is done. I know when you cook fish when the fish float it is time to take it out

some people say it is. but i always use a meat thermometer to be on the safe side. also try frying in peanut oil it is alot better. that was just an extra tip

You should not let the oil be very hot before and while the chicken is being fried.

Hi;
I fry chicken all the time. My secrets to perfect fried chicken are this. Marinate your bird in buttermilk a few hours. Make sure your oil is fresh and hot to 350 degrees before you start to fry. I use a ziploc bag and 2 cups of flour, a few tbsp’s of Tony Cachere’s creole seasoning and do a shake and bake style to coat.
I also am not scared to pull my chicken when it is perfectly brown and place it in a 9 x 13 pan and “finish” it in a 300 degree low oven to ensure that the chicken is cooked fully. It doesn’t take from the quality at all. Let me know if you try and like my tips. Good luck!!!

yes because all the nutrients have left the chicken

The wing will float after about 5 minutes and will be cooked thoroughly. The leg takes about 12 minutes and the ****** and thigh will cook at different times depending on the size. Yes, they will all float if your oil is deep enough. Be sure your oil is at a steady temperature of 365*. Higher and it will brown the outside to fast and the inside will still be undercooked. Lower temperatures will cause the chicken to absorb more of the oil than is appetizing and will cause it to not be crispy.

Yup,but you can’t take it out immediatly….
you should wait for one more minute,,,the middle will be cooked
