Fried Chicken Extra crispy

That’s some of the best looking fried chicken I’ve ever seen. Perfect color.

 

Why thanks! I was finishing it in the dark with a flashlight in my teeth

 

You dont need that kind of negativity in your life

 

So,is the instant mashed taters the key to crispy? Thread kinda got off track...not in a bad way.....just askin

 

Not positive SKEETER McCLUSKEY , but it sure made a nice color and good crust of crispy. It’s a kind of “soft” and even crispy, if that makes sense. It’s not like big hard chunks like someone rolled it in grape nuts cereal hahaha, I’ve had stuff like that not a fan!

I’m making some tonight. I’ll try some with and some without and report back!!!

 

I’m thinking the potatoes are a must! The jury will be out soon!

 

Jury says...... go with the tater flakes! It adds some great texture rather than just being a flat crumbling crust. My wife, myself and our 4 year old this was all that was left of 12 pieces. Two breast pieces and a drumstick. I love the wings and thighs myself.

 

Tried to make a batch, went 3 days with the chicken in the frig so the wife just did her shake and bake thing. I was all done under from trying to treat the thick ice in the driveway and on our ramp. I think I give it another go maybe this weekend as long as I don't need to mess with the ice again. Don't leave the taders out unless you want the ordinary.

 

for the crip without breaking off your teeth or having the dentures fall out.
