Ingredients
1 Whole Chicken-cut up into 8 pieces
6-8 cups Vegetable Oil
2 cup Plain Flour
0.25 tsp Paprika
0.25 tsp Baking powder
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
2.5 tsp Salt
1 large Egg-or 2 small eggs
1 cup Milk
0.75 tsp Pepper
- For the Knockoff KFC Fried Chicken Marinade
1.25 cup Cold water
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Adobo seasoning
0.25 tbsp Garlic powder
2 tbsp Bottled chicken base
Directions
- Combine all the marinade ingredients to make the marinade.
- Trim any excess fat and skin from the chicken pieces and marinate them for a couple of hours.
- Mix the milk with the egg in a bowl.
- Combine the other dry ingredients in another bowl.
- Drain the marinated chicken on paper towels.
- Dip each chicken piece in the egg and milk, and then coat it in the dry flour mixture.
- Dip into the egg and milk mixture again then back in the flour. Make sure every piece is well coated.
- Preheat the shortening in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Stack the chicken on a plate until each piece is coated.
- Drop the chicken pieces into the hot shortening, one at a time with tongs being careful not to splash any of the hot oil to avoid burns. Oven mits are a good idea.
- Fry 4 pieces of chicken at a time until golden brown.
- This will take 12 to 15 minutes. Stir the chicken halfway through the cooking time for an even finish.
- Drain the chicken pieces on wire racks for 5 minutes and serve hot.
Notes
- Knockoff KFC Fried Chicken can be frozen up to three months.
