Homemade KFC

Step 1/6

• 10 chicken pieces

Clean and dry chicken pieces using kitchen paper towels. You can steam the chicken for a few seconds to prepare for coating (we’ve omitted egg wash as we prefer fried chicken on the crispier side)

Step 2/6

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• ½ tsp oregano
• ½ tsp mustard powder
• 1 tsp ginger and garlic
• ½ tsp thyme
• Salt and pepper

• Medium mixing bowl
• paper towels

Mix dry ingredients to create a coating.

Step 3/6

• sunflower oil (for deep frying)

• Deep fryer
• pot

Using a deep fryer or large pot, heat the oil.

Step 4/6

Thoroughly and generously coat the chicken and once oil reaches 160C, submerge chicken and allow to fry for 5 minutes.

Step 5/6

Reduce to low heat and continue to fry until cooked through or for 2 more minutes

Step 6/6

Place on a cooling tray for another two minutes and serve with mashed potatoes and gravy, fries or your preferred starch and side.

Enjoy your meal!
