best fried chicken

[MAGAtheist]

What's your favorite fried chicken?

This is supposed to be a test to see if I could post a poll and it didn't work. As an Atheist I don't go to Church's

My own sooper recipe is my fave. The buttermilk makes the chicken totally tender:

Crispy Crunchy Chicken Fingers

Ingredients

1 pound chicken, cut into fingers
2 cups buttermilk
½ tsp Salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup self-rising flour
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1. Toss the chicken, buttermilk and salt in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
   
2. Heat 3/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360. If you are too stinkin' cheap to have a thermodinger, drop in a bit of the goop and look for an instant reaction.
   
   
3. Mix the flour, paprika, pepper and the garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Remove a chicken strip from the buttermilk, shake off the excess and roll in the flour mixture. Shake off the excess flour, place in the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown.

I tried to do turkey once

 

[Hippie420]

KFC's extra crispy is the gold standard I judge all chicken by. The worst? YaYa's (taste like chicken bubblegum) and anything from Frankenmuth. Nasty.

Ha! Thanks man. I live in Los Angeles and these are the main ones I see. Popeyes is my favorite, Church's is too greasey and KFC's batter is blaah.

 

[MAGAtheist]

WHY did you post this???? I can almost smell it. Nearly ate my screen.

Okay now I gotta go fry some chicken and see if I can get a crust like that on it lol.

This is why I've never bought a turkey fryer yet. This poor guy.

That fad was one of the dumbest, most idiotic, earthworm-stupid things. The scene above was repeated with just about every one of those things ever used.

1. Drop an ice-cold, frozen turkey into a tight space full of boiling oil. Directly above a huge open flame. Sounds legit. No problem. Much.

2. Even though the hot boiling oil spits up all over your hand and arm, be sure not to drop the big fargin bird in it. You must ease it in, ignoring the scalding burns.

3. Since no one has ever been able to ease it in without big splashes, of course they all explode in flames.

So why did so many of those who took to Tide Pod Challenge gravitate towards these firestorms?

The reason was simple -- the turkey came out perfect every single time:

 

[Hippie420]

I've never tried deep frying a frozen turkey, but the thawed ones I have came out SO good! You do it outside (duh), and I use a long boat hook to slowly lower the contraption with the bird on it into the oil. Just can't beat it for tenderness and flavor. Ain't set the world on fire yet, and where I do it, it just ain't gonna happen. I always keep a 20 pound commercial fire extinguisher within grabbing distance, just incase.

 

[Unca Walt]

Remember your emergency procedure:

When the ten gallons of grease explode into flames, just reach through them and turn off the gas spigot which you will find exactly under the center of the exploding can.

This will not put the fire out, but it might keep your LP gas tank from exploding. Maybe.

I don't eat fried food but as a child mom made pretty good chicken...got my vote.

 

[WeedHopper]

Ive deep fried many Turkeys. You have to be a moron to drop anything frozen into boiling grease. You just cant fix stupid,,, well you can but its against the law and bullets ain't cheap.

 

[Hippie420]

Never tried that, Walt. My dumb ass just always turned off the valve on the propane tank that's 8 feet away. Your way sounds like a good way to mess up a couple of tattoos.
