KFC Syle Crispy Chicken

Last week was family time. My sister with her family was visiting us. The house was alive and buzzing. One thing about my family, everyone loves food. It is fun to cook when house is full of food lovers. As a treat for the kids I made this crispy chicken which my nieces love.

For the Kids I deep fried it and for my mother I made it in my air fryer and both were equally good. Even though this Chicken recipe is deep fried, I do not mind making it occasionally as a treat for the kids. Kids simply love this chicken and I am happy as well as I know the ingredients that went into it.

Home made Crispy Chicken

Crispy chicken is easy to make and quick too. It can be served as an appetizer or as a main course. With someone to help in frying it can be made for a large gathering too. I prefer to make Crispy Chicken with Chicken drumsticks or a small chicken cut into 12 pieces. Small size chicken is tender, marinates well and cooks easily. Larger chickens tend to be chewy.

Crisp outer and Juicy chicken

Its a good idea to marinate the chicken with the spices a day before and keep it overnight in the fridge. The next day coat with a mixture of bread crumbs and crushed cornflakes. Bread crumbs are finer and cover the chicken uniformly while cornflakes give a crispy covering once fried. An important point to note here is to use original plain cornflakes and not flavoured cornflakes.
