Fried Chicken Recipe

Someone claiming it to be the best fried chicken recipe just like KFC's original fried chicken. I collected the recipe. Let's hope it tastes exactly like the KFC ones.

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces

3 beaten eggs
4 tablespoons oil



For the coating



2 cups flour
4 teaspoons paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon celery salt



Directions:



1. Sift together all the coating ingredients and place in a clean plastic bag. Coat each chicken piece first with the beaten egg, then with the flour mixture in the bag. Make sure you coat each piece completely with the flour.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet. Brown the chicken in oil slowly, uncovered. Once browned, cover the skillet and keeping frying on a very gentle heat until the chicken is fully cooked. Place on paper towels to drain out the excess oil.

Cream cheese frosting

70g softened butter
200g cream cheese (I use Philadelphia )

Beat the butter till its super soft then add the cream cheese till combined don't over beat or cream cheese goes runny, next add half the sugar till combined then add the rest.

Now you will have perfect pipe-able, spreadable non runny cream cheese frosting. This is the method I use and always comes out delish .

Grilled Chicken- Tried and tested

Hamda Gharib

After washing your chicken rub with salt, lemon juice & tumeric.

Cook 2 cups of plain white rice as normal.

Chop a big bunch of coriander with fresh mint and dill. Stir these chopped herbs into the cooked rice and also add a teaspoon each of ground cumin & paprika. Add as many stoned olives as you like.

Stuff the chicken cavity with some of this herby rice. Pile the rest of the rice into your roasting tray. Place your chicken on top of this bed of rice and roast at gas 7 until cooked.

When you come to serving: scoop out the rice from inside the chicken and mix it with the roasted rice. Quarter the chicken and pile on top of the rice. Makes a great dinner centre piece!

Fathema Shahzadi Ahmed- Chiili cheese bites
Ingredients
Grated cheddar cheese, I used 250g and got about 30 out of them.
Roughly chopped tomatoes
As much jalapenos as you like, chopped small
Chopped coriander
Salt and pepper to season

Method
Mix all ingredients together
Mould into balls, I made them quite big, next time I’d make them slightly smaller, they’re very filling!

Beat egg in a dish
Pour breadcrumbs in dish

Have a little production line going: cover balls in egg mix, coat with breadcrumbs.

When you’re done, do it all again, dip in egg and re-coat with breadcrumbs, this will ensure that the cheese is doubly coated so less danger of it spilling out when frying.

Freeze! This is an important step. They need to be frozen so they can set. If you fry straight after making the cheese will probably spill out.

When you’re ready to eat, deep fry. They don’t take long, take out when golden brown. Enjoy!
