The Best Fried Chicken

Fried Chicken is just about the most American food can get. And this here Fried Chicken is about to change your life.

Folks, I'm talking the most crispy, succulent and knuckle-lickin' fried chicken on the face of the earth. No annoying, messy, eggy batters or blowing money on buttermilk to brine it in either. We're talking a simply seasoned water bath for the brine and a sensationally seasoned dry flour coating for the batter. And after it's deep fried to a gorgeous golden brown? Well, let's just say you're going to feel like the best cook on the planet and will not only knock the socks off yourself, but anyone else you serve it to.

Oh - and this one's gonna give your Instant Pot a break. But have no fear, it's so CRAZY EASY, even a chicken could do it!

Thank you so much Jeffrey for this AWESOME recipe!!...Made it tonight and couldn’t believe the flavor, and the most juiciest I’ve ever tasted!. Can’t wait for 4/17 for my pre-ordered book to arrive. God bless you guys and be safe!!

I use a iron skillet to fry my chicken
The left over flour is used to make chicken gravy to use over mashed potatoes

A little hint: sometimes when you drain your chicken on paper towels, the bottom will get soggy. If you drain on a rack it will stay crisp all the way around.

Hint: to keep the chicken hot and crispy while making other batches, preheat your oven to 250 and put the cooked chicken in there until ready to serve.

Finally, my mom made the best fried chicken. I just never could make like hers. It was so moist. Now I'll use your recipe. You have not steered me wrong on any of your recipes. At 64, I'm learning to use more types of seasonings and not fearful of how it will taste. Thank you for the videos.

OH My God!!! This chicken is insane!!! I used buttermilk instead of water, but everything else like the recipe. It’s so crispy and flavorful! And not spicy at all! Winner winner chicken dinner!!!

[mombot]

Your videos are the best! Always turns out perfect!! I've shared your channel with SO many people and they all agree! Thank you so much...cant wait to try this fried chicken recipe!

[davekerns]

Once again, you remind me why I keep coming back to your channel, Jeff! This looks wonderful, and I'll put it on the menu for my family. Thank you !!!

Your recipes have literally stepped up my cooking game. My kids would call me Mrs. Flax from the movie Mermaids, because my cooking was compared frequently to Chers. They love your spicy sausage lemon linguini, The zuppa toscana soup, and the sausage bread, and aoy vey lets not forget the pillow latkes which are so great they request those almost every weekend. I'm going to start brining the chicken legs today. No more Mrs. Polka Flax for me. Thank you for all these great recipes and making it so easy.

You called it, again, Jeff! Quite a winner! Did the drumsticks too. Started deep frying 4 drumsicks but realized this method was taking way too long between batches (to keep at temp) when I decided to change to the oven method. I did use the remaining flour for deep-fried (home-made) kosher dill pickles. Found breadcrumb stuffing with herbs which I ground up to a fine powder and added nutritional yeast (for an added nutty & cheesy flavor), which I rolled the remaining drumsticks in and backed @ 400°F (for a total of 1-hour). Kick-butt-chicken! Just received your cookbook too (thanks, Sis)!

I have used a bunch of your recipes and they are a big hit. Just got your book. This fried chicken is by far the best I have ever had.

[LilStampBug]

Wow, I was looking for a really good fried chicken recipe this week and look what you did! TYVM 😁. And I just ordered your cookbook and can't wait til it gets here! Hurry up April 16th 😁 stay safe and healthy out there everyone!

[St.ScubaSteve]

I am literally drooling right now after watching your video. I can't wait to try making it on my own. I am so looking forward to receiving your recipe book. Congratulations on your new book and hope there are many more to come.

I have my chicken in the brine stage right now. I did everything you said EXCEPT I bought ½ gallon of buttermilk. My husband says there’s nothing better than buttermilk fried chicken so I did it. REALLY looking forward to tomorrow evening when I make this. I might double dip it in the flour, back in the brine and then another go in the flour mixture. Can’t wait ! I’ll let you know how it comes out ! *grin*. Thanks so much ! LOVE your recipes !

Jeff, I've made a few of your recipes so far and they've all turned out great. This one is slightly intimidating to me, but I've had great "luck" with your advice so far ('m going to do this with a Dutch Oven). I was one of those people intimidated by my Instant Pot ( a feature of your channel) and didn't bother using it for maybe a year. You've made it easy for me to understand how that device works; now that so many are hurting for money, and the shelves are becoming more bare, you also make it easier for me as a SNAP recipient and someone who's trying to keep my electric bills low. You've also given me lots of great ideas for my improv cooking that also turned out well while feeding my body and soul. I really appreciate your knowledge, and I also enjoy your enthusiasm, good vibes, and friendly face. I feel sorry for people who love to eat but don't love to cook. The process is part of the joy, and when we can simplify the process, we can multiply the enjoyment and maximize our time (and budget)! I look forward to getting your cookbook. :-) Cheers from DC.

Love the way u get right to the point! Looks mouth watering!

[kathleenrice]

We can’t wait to try your delicious recipe. I wish my dad were still here because he would love it. My dad love fried chicken, on vacation once he ordered it for breakfast. Thank you.

[jeannesohre]

Totally awesome!
Thank you again job well done.

[randymiller]

Jeffrey, as usual GREAT RECIPE, GREAT COOKING SKILLS!!!
I have never tried that kind of brine...IT WILL BE USED SOMETIME THIS WEEK!!!
I love that Richard is PROUDLY representing the great state of Alabama.
Much love from Mobile Alabama.

Here's something I found works best when deep frying, put your basket in the oil, then put your meat (Chicken) into the oil and use the basket to lift it out, and you won't get that batter or coating stuck to the bottom of the basket, plus it allows the meat to float more freely in the oil. Just an observation. Oh yeah, Walmart sells 10 pound bags of Chicken Quarters (Legs and Tights, skin on ) for about $6 a bag, if you are interested.
