After he perfected his original he made a crispy recipe that
was marinated first then fried the conventional way. This o
ne is double dunked into the coating to give it its great ta
ste.
KFC EXTRA CRISPY
1 whole frying chicken, cut up and marinated
6-8 cups shortening for cooking
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon MSG
1/8 teaspoon Paprika
1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoon Baking Powder
Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces. Prehea
t the shortening in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees. Combine the
beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl. In another medium bow
l, combine the remaining coating ingredients (flour, salt, p
epper and MSG). When the chicken has marinated, transfer eac
h piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off.
Working with one piece at a time, first dip in egg and milk
then coat the chicken with the dry flour mixture, then the
egg and milk mixture again, and then back into the flour. Be
sure that each piece is coated very generously. Stack the c
hicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been
coated. Drop the chicken, one piece at a time into the hot s
hortening. Fry half of the chicken at a time (4 pieces) for
12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown. You should be su
re to stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking ti
me so that each piece cooks evenly. Remove the chicken to a
rack or towels to drain for about 5 minutes before eating.
