Crispy fried chicken suggestions
Under-seasoning is the worst possible outcome when cooking chicken. To get the finest results, season your flour with salt and pepper. To get the most tender chicken possible, marinate it in buttermilk. Similarly, yoghurt may be used as a marinate since it softens the meat by breaking down the connective tissue. Put some paprika or cayenne pepper in the flour if you want things spicy.
Almost every household has a go-to chicken dish. Make this recipe for perfectly fried chicken the norm at your next weekend party.
