A Homemade Fried Chicken Recipe For All The Steemers! It's Tastier Than a KFC - It is Moist & Crispy

Today I decided to cook a special homemade Fried chicken recipe which you can make at home easily which will be more crispy, tasty and moist than a KFC. The recipe includes 15 ingredients which I will list below for you along with my pictures which I took today especially for this post. :) 

Here is a picture of all the ingredients which you will need below

1 Whole Chicken - I used Organic

2 Liters of Peanut Oil

1 or 2 pots of Butter Milk

All purpose Flour

Salt, Black Pepper, Basil, Sage, Onion Salt, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Oregano, Cayenne Pepper, Marjoram, Brown Sugar, 

Here is a picture of the Whole Organic Chicken which I used.

Step 1: Cut the whole chicken into 8 pieces, 2 wings, 2 legs, cut the breasts in half into 4 pieces. Then add some salt and black pepper.

Here is a picture of the 8 pieces of chicken with a little bit of salt & pepper seasoning

Step 2: Pour 1 or 2 pots of butter milk all over the pieces of chicken so they are fully covered and give them a little stir. Then put some cling film over the bowl and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes (OR over night if you want, optional)

Step 3: Get a separate bowl & add the following

2 & a half heaped table spoons of flour

Then add 1 Heaped Tea spoon of Salt, Pepper, Basil, Sage, Onion Salt, Garlic Powder, Oregano,  Cayenne Pepper, Marjoram, Paprika, Brown Sugar. 

Then give it all a good mix with a wooden spoon.

Here is a picture of all the flour, herbs and spices in the bowl 

  

Step 4: As soon as the chicken has been in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. 

Pour about 2 liters of peanut oil into your large frying pot so that there is enough oil to fully cover the pieces of chicken. Heat up the oil to ideally 150 degrees (if you have a thermometer this would be ideal) but it is not essential, just make sure it is on high heat.

Now with a pair of tongs pick up each individual piece of chicken and roll it around inside the herbs & spice mix which you made in Step 3 and then gently lower the chicken into the boiling oil.

Cook the pieces of chicken for about 12 to 15 minutes.

Once they are cooked, make sure that you lay the chicken on to a kitchen towel to soak up the oil.

Now you are ready to eat your Crispy, Moist Tasty Chicken! :)
