If you’re craving mind-blowingly crispy, crazy flavorful fried chicken, this recipe is for you! I’m talking the kind of shatteringly crunchy crust that will have your taste buds doing a happy dance. Fried chicken is an art form in the South, and these simple ingredients transform into pure poultry perfection. One bite of this chicken and you’ll be a lifelong devotee, just like my husband!
I can’t stop making this Southern fried chicken – it’s that insanely good. My husband requests it on a weekly basis because he’s utterly addicted to that wildly crunchy, beautifully seasoned crust. While it does take a little extra time to double-dredge the chicken, that’s what creates the iconic crispy coating that’s impossible to resist. Trust me, it’s so worth it! This fried chicken belongs in your life.
Why This Is the Best Darn Fried Chicken Batter
. Double-dredging in an egg mixture and seasoned flour creates a thick, shatteringly crisp crust
. The crust has the perfect blend of warm, savory spices like paprika and poultry seasoning
. Letting the battered chicken rest before frying allows the coating to set for maximum crunchiness
. Frying at the ideal temperature ensures juicy, perfectly cooked chicken underneath that crispy shell
. It’s easy enough for a weeknight indulgence yet impressive enough for Sunday dinner!
The Batter Ingredients You’ll Need
. Eggs and milk for dipping so the coating adheres beautifully
. All-purpose flour for that incredible fried chicken texture
. Paprika for warmth, earthiness and that gorgeous orange color
. Poultry seasoning because it adds such amazing depth of flavor
. Salt and pepper to season it just right
