  • Start by heating oil over medium-high heat in a large pan until it reaches an appropriate temperature, but isn’t smoking.
  • Gently place chicken pieces into hot oil. Fry at low temperature without covering your pan to ensure even browning of all sides. Rotate occasionally so as to achieve even color development.
  • Cook the chicken until both sides have turned golden-brown in 10-15 minutes.
  • Once the chicken has been browned, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan to finish cooking for 20-25 minutes until its internal temperatures no longer register pink.
  • Place the chicken on paper towels and drain any excess oil from it.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for several minutes so the coating can crisp up before enjoying!
  • Enjoy KFC-style homemade fried chicken! Enjoy this delectable treat!
