FRIED CHICKEN..



If you are alone in your house without any cooked food, are you had to eat maggi? or rice with sardine? You don’t have to suffer like that. Why not you make your own fried chicken?? Here I have some recipe to make fried chicken. Firstly, you need to have all the ingredients. 1 whole chicken cut into pieces, oil for frying, brine: 3 tbsp rock salt, 5 cups water, breading: 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 2 tbsp DRY instant chicken broth, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder.Then mix water and rock salt to make brine. After that, soak the chicken in it for about an hour in the fridge. While waiting the chicken, mix the breading ingredients. Sift to remove any lumps. Then, remove the chicken from the brine and rinse with water. Pat with some paper towel to remove extra moisture then dredge in coating mix. Deep fry in hot oil over medium high heat for about 15-20 minutes or until chicken is done. In this recipe I used some margarine and mixed it with the oil for richer taste. Take out of the oil when done and set aside. In the same pan, I remove the oil leaving just enough to use in making a run out of the remaining breading mixture. Add some water or chicken stock and whisk until it boils and become thick. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve while still hot! And eat it with rice
