Bread your chicken by first dipping in an egg-milk
wash then dipping in the secret spice blend mixed
with two cups of flour. From there, go right into
the fryer. If you allow the breading to sit on the
chicken for too long, you might get soggy breading
or breading that doesn’t stick to the chicken.
When it comes to frying, KFC relies on high temp,
industrial-strength pressure friers to get that
extra crispy coating. While you won’t be able at
deep fry with your at home pressure cooker, you
can still recreate the KFC crunch with a deep
fryer, a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot. Simply
heat your oil 350F and leave each piece in for
exactly 12 minutes. If you’re worried about the
chicken not being done, you can pop it into the
oven for a few more minutes to heat it through
(and maintain the crispy coating).
