How to Make Crispy Fried Chicken | Preppy Kitchen

Juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, this Fried Chicken recipe is going to be the only one you need! Soaked in buttermilk, then coated with seasoned flour and fried to golden perfection, these fried chicken pieces are so crispy and tasty. Once you make homemade fried chicken, you’re not going to want to go back to take-out!

There is nothing better than biting into a crunchy piece of freshly fried chicken. This is my go-to recipe, and once you’ve tried it, you’ll know why. The skin is so crispy and flavorful, while the meat is moist and juicy. All you need are a few everyday ingredients to make crispy chicken, and you probably already have all the ingredients at home. It’s a recipe that the whole family will love, hands down!

Omg, why is he so cute. I am going to make this but as chicken tenders, because I don't like bone-in. Thank you! And YES PLEASE on the air fryer recipe.

I just made fried chicken today! I marinated mine overnight in 3 cups buttermilk and 1 cup of pickle juice and 1/2 cup of hot sauce. It turned out fantastic!! Yes on the air fryer recipes please.😁😁

This reminds me so much of my late grandma Ruth's fried chicken. She lived in Louisiana and whenever we would visit from Dallas she would make her fried chicken it was my favorite thing she cooked. Thanks for the recipe John!

Yes to the air fryer recipes and maybe some instant pot recipes as well. My Greek friend gave me one a copper pepper grinder many years ago. She said everyone good Greek household MUST have one. I think of her every time I use it--which is every day.

“It’s shake and bake and I helped” 🤣🤣🤣.

[misskitty]

I used to make fried chicken a lot since it’s my husband’s favorite thing but I actually HATE making it! That being said I am hiding as I watch this so he doesn’t see and beg me to make some. 🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂

My favorite pieces are thighs, legs, and wings. To be able to Cook my chicken out at the same time I normally cut my chicken breast in half so that I'll be the same size. I learned a really cool trick washing Thomas Joseph over at cooking conundrums. At the bottom of a Dutch oven he placed a round wire rack so that the chicken isn't resting on the bottom and won't burn. That was one of the coolest tricks because I'm always burning the chicken and my family hates that. I love how you measure the hot sauce I just throw as much as possible 😂😂

That Shake N Bake commercial was from the sixties. I remember seeing it when I was a child. I would LOVE to see an air fryer version of this recipe.

[lisaramos-archbold]

After months of watching and watching and re watching this video—-I finally made it. And….it was AWESOME !!! Thank you ! I found the perfect temp was 340 all the way. The leftovers were even better 😊

[katekramer]

Given John's immaculately designed and organized kitchen, I'm not sure why I was SHOOK by the refrigerator door matching the cabinets, but there you go.

[AnakinSkywalker-mmgi]

Looks amazing but I can't wait for your Holiday season recipes soon!

[cattastroficka]

Seeing your smile just makes me happy. I know, so stupid to say, but it is what it is. 😁


I’ve used my air fryer twice in 2 years so yes please! I need inspiration!

[yojoeski]

I usually bake my chicken ahead of time before frying it. I'll season the meat itself, cook it to near doneness (usually 140-150), pull it out of the oven and let it come back to room temp. When I'm ready to fry, I'll coat it and dredge it as normal and then deep fry until I get the color I want. At that point, you're not worrying about doneness, only color and crunch and I have never had an issue with the chicken being dry or overcooked.

I love your recipees and your presentation of how to do it, thanks so much for explaining why you use ingredients or methods used. Thanks a bunch!!
