This unusual, old-fashioned technique sounded simple enough, but we had to work to achieve the picture-perfect, golden-brown crust and moist chicken that we were after.

  1. Since you work in a test kitchen I have a question it not on chicken I'm canning sweet potatoes and to make a light syrup can I use Splenda to can my potato in hope u can answer my ?

  2. I made Julia's recipe a few weeks ago & it was a huge hit with the family. Making it again tonight, but I doubled the recipe to have more leftovers this time (it good cold too). This is now my go to recipe for fried chicken – super crispy & so YUMMY!

  3. Pro tip, give you batter a little taste to adjust seasoning before frying (since there’s no raw egg)… add some garlic and onion powder

  4. Will try exactly as you’ve shown.

    I’ve had compliments for my fried chicken. I use buttermilk. Oh, and shhhhhh Old Bay Seasoning.

  5. Stopped eating anything with black pepper after my father stopped a leak in his car radiator with a can of black pepper.

  6. I've learned to skip the mess and buy it from the supermarket or a franchise like Jollibee.
    It may cost a bit more but you avoid the cleanup, the storing of the oil and the wait.

  7. I’m high in society and cultured. Even I enjoyed this low food after my chef corrected the recipe.

  8. As a shortcut, use Marion-Kay Chicken Seasoning instead of your own spices. It's the same formula that M-K made for KFC when the Colonel still ran it.
