Craving that crispy, golden, and flavorful fried chicken? Look no further! This homemade KFC-inspired fried chicken recipe will give you the perfect crunch and irresistible taste right in your own kitchen. Let’s dive into the ingredients and the simple steps to recreate this deliciousness.

Ingredients:

10 pieces of chicken (legs and thighs with skin)
2 cups of all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons of cornstarch
2 large eggs
1 cup of evaporated milk
1 tablespoon of mustard
1 tablespoon of chicken or meat seasoning
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken: Begin by thoroughly washing and patting the chicken pieces dry. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Partially Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, add just enough water to partially submerge the chicken pieces. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes to lightly cook the chicken.
Prepare the Coatings: While the chicken is simmering, set up two bowls. In the first, mix the flour, cornstarch, minced garlic, and your chosen seasoning. Stir well. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Chicken: Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the water and pat it dry. Next, dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, followed by another coat of the flour mixture. For extra crunch, place the coated chicken in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium heat until hot enough for frying. Carefully place 2-3 pieces of chicken into the hot oil at a time, frying until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pan to avoid temperature drops.
Drain and Serve: Once the chicken is perfectly fried, remove it from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
