I like their buttermilk combos!

I used buttermilk, salt, turbinado sugar, hot sauce, pepper powder and tellicherry fresh cracked.

Did some impromptu KFC the other night. Really a spur of the moment thing so threw together some Flour, cayenne, salt, garlic/onion powder, paprika and lemon pepper for the breading and seasoned the chicken pieces in cayenne pepper, oil, hot sauce, S+P with some lemon juice. Being late at night and too many (or is it not enough?) beers in, I only had it marinating for like half an hour. I think I put a crapload of cayenne pepper in it this time, but still could barely feel any heat! Needs more time marinating me thinks, but as far as taste goes, I was happier with this batch than my previous ones.

Awesome looking chicken , the meat actually has texture to it. Most commercially raised chicken here ends up with a mushy texture, you have to go free range or organic to get something with good texture for fried chicken.

To be honest though the first thing that jumped out at me was the pic of the pot, drunk frying with a full pot of oil would give me nightmares.

Getting ready...

Oh and everyone can thank me later....never rest fried food on a paper towel.

I will thank you , even though I already know it. Spread the gospel.

My fried chicken turned to crap.

I put the fryer outside and I think the snow and cold hated my brine....

Yeah crust got too dark for sure but the meat was perfect. I will need to recheck the fryer for accuracy but I have found before when cooking in the cold it causes issues. The wings which are not shown has awesome flavor from the brine, thighs not quite as much. The crust was twice as big as the thighs so that part was right...to dark needs fixed!

Does the turbinado increase the darkening of the fry? - I could imagine that ...

Nah, I'll figure it out next fry.

Think it was the overall temp and need to make sure it is accurate again.

I like to fry mine in a cast iron Dutch oven and yes cool it on a rack!

Low pressure, pressure fryer aka the chicken bucket. You guys who really love fried chicken should try it.

SumOfMyBits · Jan 24, 2015

Y'all are bustin' some mad skills on that fried yardbird.

I'm green with jealous rage.

I do the single dip myself. double,triple is to much for my taste. I read kfc does 7? probably why I hate kfc.

I go flour/seasoning,egg,then flour/seasoning. then I put it into the icebox for a couple of hours until the coating is no longer dry, it gets sticky. then fry.
