Traditional fried chicken recipes are simply chicken dusted in flour and fried crisp, but this delicious variation uses a fried chicken mix that contains marinade, batter breading and gravy in one pack. This fried chicken is great hot, but also makes a wonderful picnic item served cold.
Ingredients :
- 1/2 Kilogram chicken
Maximize Ingredients :
- 1 Packed Fried Chicken Mixes
The good thing in keeping a bunch of mixes in our pantry, helps us maximize our time. At anytime, we can make a crispy fried chicken without going out. One pack is good for ½ kilos of chicken. It contains four packages inside; marinade, batter, breading and gravy. Dissolve marinade mix in 1/3 cup (80 ml) water until free from lumps. Marinate chicken for 1 hour, turning occasionally and drain.
Dissolve batter mix in 1/4 cup (60 ml) water until free from lumps. Set aside.
Dip marinated chicken in batter then coat with breading.
Frying chicken is a slow cooking food -- not because it takes forever to prepare, but when frying a crispy outside and juicy inside. It is why fried chicken is the perfect summer Sunday meal.
Dissolve gravy mix in 1 cup (240 ml) water until free from lumps. Bring to a boil then simmer for another 3 minutes with constant stirring. Serve with fried chicken
Cooking Tips :
- After you flour coat the chicken, let the chicken rest on a rack for twenty minutes to form a crust before you fry it. This also allows the chicken to warm to room temperature which will help it to cook through. Use the time to finish any sides.
