  • This recipe is the best fried chicken recipe you'll ever need to make the perfect fried wings and crispy fried chicken. It's crispy and flavorful like Popeyes fried chicken but better because it's a southern style recipe and homemade fried chicken is always better with this DIY recipe. The batter is a Popeyes copycat recipe and crispier than KFC chicken. Churches fried chicken is close if you can find a good store but this recipe is all you need. Use a cast iron pot if you have one, they hold the heat better and will keep the oil hotter when you drop the chicken in.
    Recipe:
    Spice mix
    1tbs cayenne pepper
    1tbs paprika
    1tbs onion powder
    1tbs granulated garlic powder
    1tbs black pepper
    1tbs Accent
    1tsp salt
    1tbs Cavenders seasoning
    1st flour dredge
    1 cup of AP flour
    1/2 cup corn starch
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    wet batter
    2 eggs
    1 cup of club soda
    1 cup AP flour
    1tsp of spice mix
    1tsp paprika
    final dredge
    3 cups AP flour
    1/2 cup corn starch
    2tsp spice mix
    Season chicken with generous amount of spice mix and marinate at least 3 hours.
    coat marinated chicken in first dry batter, shake off excess and dip into wet batter, shake off excess and into the final seasoned flour. Shake off excess flour and fry in 350 degree oil for 15 minutes flipping chicken over every 5 minutes. Wings fry for 12 minutes flipping over every 3-4 minutes.

    As someone who managed Popeyes the method is toss chicken in spice pack, sit in the cooler for no less than 24 hours, before frying... toss in flour, then into batter, and toss in flour again. Avoid beating all the flour off the chicken. Take 2 pieces from the flour, tap against each other 3 times and thats it. I know the actual recipe is important, but sometimes the process is equally important.

    • @cromew76
      @cromew76 10 місяців тому +23

      as a another former popeyes employee and manager, after the tap don't just drop into the oil, you need to give it a slight flip when putting it in the oil and it's dark meat first followed by white meat and keep it moving around until the legs float. would usually take 11min in the chicken fryers, but could be done in 8 min using the french fry fryer in a pinch

    I agree, this procedure gives crisp spicy delicious chicken. I normally brine the chicken for several hours in buttermilk/Frank’s red hot - it’s the only way I’ve ever gotten a consistently nice and spicy taste to fried chicken. This recipe is definitely the best I’ve ever used.
