Crispy Fried Chicken Recipe

Fried chicken is known for its crispy outer crust and juicy, tender meat on the inside. It's a beloved dish that can be easily made at home. Here’s a simple recipe for crispy fried chicken that will surely satisfy your cravings!



Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

  • 6–8 pieces of chicken (drumsticks, wings, or your preferred cuts)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch (or potato starch)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp chili powder (optional, for a spicy kick)
  • Cooking oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

  • Rinse and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Make small slashes in the meat so the seasoning can soak in better.

2. Prepare the Coating

  • In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.

3. Fry the Chicken

  • Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and egg mixture, coating it evenly.
  • Then coat the chicken with the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks well.
  • Heat cooking oil in a deep pan to 340°F (170°C–180°C).
  • Fry the chicken for 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Once fried, place the chicken on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

4. Serve

  • Your crispy fried chicken is now ready to enjoy!
  • Serve it as is, or with sides like French fries, salad, or coleslaw for a complete meal.

💡 TIPS
🔥 Extra Crispy! – For an extra crispy texture, coat the chicken twice with the flour mixture before frying.

🍯 Sweet Sauce! – Mix honey, ketchup, and hot sauce for a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.
