Fried chicken

I'll be watching this thread carefully. I stink at making fried chicken.

Honey, I'm as southern as it gets and still stink at it. My DH brags on how good his mom and grandma's was. I make it exactly as they did and it still sucks. I know I'm just cooking it wrong. It's burnt on the outside while it's still raw on the inside.

I cheat when I make my coating but everyone loves my fried chicken. I start off with the new herb and Parmasean shake and bake. To that I add 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of corn meal. I then add some of my own spices, onion salt, garlic powder,paprika,etc. I shake and then make a egg and milk wash. I dip the chicken in the egg mixture thenin the bag of the coating. I refrigerate the coated chicken for 15 minutes then fry. I have an old electric fry pan that I use and usually cook it for 7 minutes on each side at 400 degrees. I have also used the stove and cooked it about 8 minutes each side.

Your oil is too hot if the breading burns and the chicken isn't cooked - that much I know...not that it helps me.

I have Fear of Frying - either oil is too hot & I get your result, or it's not hot enough and the breading falls off.

I let KFC or Popeye's do my chicken frying - luckily the local grocery also makes a pretty good fried chicken they sell cold and it reheats in the oven beautifully.
