Hey, I’m trying to make fried chicken. I MUST today, for the sake of my future confidence and the joy of my day TODAY. I want to use chicken breast, thighs are too fatty for me.
How? I’m looking up recipes but they all seem so disingenuous. I know that sounds stupid, but I thought maybe asking real people would give me a better chance.
Chicken breast, buttermilk. Those are the only ingredients I feel like I must use. Anyone have any advice on the fried chicken? I’ve got regular canola oil, olive oil, extra virgin, and I’m waiting to visit the grocery store. I was about to go but I just don’t feel confident. Please, anyone have a list of ingredients worth using together?
I’m at the grocery store please
Canola oil works. Peanut oil tastes better but costs a bit more.
You’ll want flour for American style. Corn starch for Korean style.
Note you can also filter the oil into a jar when you’re done so that you can reuse the oil.
Tips: write the type of protein you used the oil for, type of oil, first use date, and number of uses. Should be good for a couple weeks. Store in a cool dark room.
Or freeze it. And you’re spot on. Mom saved bacon grease for cooking and kept it rotated. Good tip!
Let me find some of my favorite recipes
American: https://www.bigoven.com/recipe/southern-fried-chicken/220278?utm_medium=yummly&utm_source=yummly&utm_campaign=yummly This one looks close to the recipe I go with, except it has onions.
Korean: https://www.jocooks.com/recipes/korean-fried-chicken/?utm_medium=yummly&utm_source=yummly&utm_campaign=yummly Basically it’s fried chicken that gets covered in a delicious sauce. Buying the ingredients for the first time could add up, but once you have them you can make fried chicken at the drop of a hat
