MY SECRET RECIPE FOR SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN | Crispy Crunchy Peppery | TheRecipeConnoisseur

Absolutely not! This easy two-part batter is a mix of dry ingredients and a mix of wet ingredients. First dredge the chicken in a mixture of milk and egg then quickly toss it in seasoned flour. This recipe calls for bone-in chicken but boneless chicken breasts or thighs are just as good; just be sure to reduce the cooking time.

Low oil temperature is the main reason why fried chicken does not get crispy. If the oil is not at the right temperature the chicken will take longer to cook and the coating will become soggy because too much oil is absorbed.
