Chef Sven's Perfectly Crispy Fried Chicken

Today, I want to share with you my secret recipe for perfectly crispy fried chicken. This is a recipe that has been passed down in my family for generations. My great-grandmother, Ingrid, used to make this fried chicken every Sunday for our family gatherings. It was always the highlight of the meal, and everyone would gather around the table, eagerly waiting for the first bite.

The key to this recipe is the seasoning. I use a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to give the chicken a delicious flavor. And of course, the chicken needs to be coated in a crispy, golden batter. I like to use a mixture of flour and cornstarch to achieve the perfect balance of crunchiness and tenderness.

So let’s get started with Chef Sven’s Perfectly Crispy Fried Chicken!

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, making sure to coat it thoroughly.

3. Heat a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat, and add enough vegetable oil to come halfway up the sides of the pan.

4. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, skin side down, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

5. Flip the chicken pieces over and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden.

6. Remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

7. Serve hot and enjoy!
