Finally, a fried chicken recipe that actually comes out crunchy.
I've been searching high and low, even tracking down 'clone' recipes for KFC and other places. No luck.
Until this time.
Using Michael Chiarello's recipe for Double Dipped Fried Chicken, we ended up with a pretty nice (and crunchy!) chicken.
This chicken is a lot of work, but the results made it worth it.
You marinate the chicken in balsamic vinegar and rosemary overnight. Drain off the vinegar. Toss chicken in buttermilk. Then, you coat the chicken in a mixture of arborio rice flour, semolina flour, and all-purpose flour, with a ton of ground pepper. Put back in buttermilk, the dredge in flour mix. Repeat. Put back in fridge for an hour, so coating will stick to chicken.
Fry in peanut oil. Nice!
Some roasted new potatoes, cooked in butter with herbs and salt and pepper, and a 'salad' of cucumber, avocado and carrot. Yum.

Alternately titled, Close, but no cigar. So, here's my third attempt at making the 'perfect' fried chicken. This recipe also comes from the Fried Chicken episode of Tyler's Ultimate. Lots and lots of work for this one. First, brine chicken...
- My Quest For The Perfect Fried Chicken---take 2
So, still searching for the best fried chicken recipe. Take two involved an Italian fried chicken, Pollo Fritto. Chicken breasts, rubbed with ground pepper and kosher salt, and left sitting at room temperature for at least an hour. Dip the chicken, cut...
- My Own Invention
I think I'm a pretty good cook. I can most certainly follow directions. With few exceptions, recipes turn out as they're supposed to. And occasionaly, I like to just make things up. Maybe I have ingredients that need to be used. Perhaps I'm...
