There are so many ways to cook chicken but when I fry, I use equal amounts of canola and olive oil. After spicing it(I do have the KFC secret recipe)put in the oil to brown quickly. The oil must be hot so the grease does not get a chance to soak in the chicken. About 15 mins. the skin is nice and crispy and the meat inside is moist and tender.

I must look up canola oil. I assume it is called something different here

I read somewhere that you can use carrots and cabbage with fried chicken
I don't fry chicken unless it is with 220volt. I have a Smoker, and that makes the best smoked chicken, smoke it with apple wood or hickory.. MMMMMMMM good, if I want fried chicken, I just hit Popeyes or KFC.

mollybaby: I prefer chicken thigh meat to breast. Much more flavoursome.
I buy antibiotic-free boned thigh meat from my butchers..yum!
Hi Molly
it is great that you can get antibiotic free meat.
No fry chicken for me and I hardly eat chicken. Chicken from the big companies have lots of hormones, antibiotics and the animals are fed who knows what, besides the terrible conditions they thrive.
However, other sources of protein can have very much the same conditions, like fish. Although the antibiotics in fish are mostly appplied for their preservation, so it is good to rinse the fish before preparing it.
I am with cuddling soul on this one. Crisco. I no longer eat fried foods very often. And have no one really to cook for so it has been a while for me. But the trick is to flour season and make sure the lard is good and hot before dropping the little dickens in. If the lard is to hot or not hot enough it does affect the out come

Put pieces of chicken in a deep pan and pour about half a litre of coke intothe pan, let the chicken cook in the coke, adding more till its cooked through.. Then let the coke evaporate.. You will be left with dark, sticky chicken , in a (not too sweet,black, sticky coating.. Yummy!! My whole family loves this (Hong Kong Chicken)
flour, salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder. before roll the chicks in the flour mixed, I'd dip them in beaten white egg, then the flour mixed and fry them in veg oil.
Ken_19: Some argue the taste produced with olive oil is superior to the taste of chicken fried in Canola or other oils. Some use only store bought chicken rub spices, but others choose certain specific spices, etc. How do you fry chicken in your frying pan?
what...fallen .wolf said...but only right handed legs........

I don't ever, ever, ever FRY chicken.... or much else, for that matter.
Very bad for you!
If I do use a frying pan, yes, I do use olive oil. But then, I do a lot of Italian cooking, so.....
Yeah, there are many delicious ways to prepare chicken,...but if we are talking fried I, being North American, use corn, canola, or some similiar veg oil (never been a true fan of olive oil),...OR,...if I really want taste,....crisco, lard,...real animal, artery clogging, trans-fatty, government will have to regulate fast-food industry, pan lubricants!
mollybaby: Phew! So you can get it non - genetically modified?
Yes, like many other genetically-modified plnts (ie' corn, petunias, potatoes,....ad infinitum), "heritage" strains are still preserved (despite Monsanto's attempts), yet, they struggle to maintain themselves against insects, disese, etc, which have evolved attempting to defeat the "supposed" advantages of genetic engineering.
Cuddling and Happy have it right, IMHO After salting and peppering, and then dredging in flour...
Crisco (or another good quality lard) at medium high temps in a skillet for the initial searing and cooking, with a few dabs of butter towards the end of frying for the irresistible great taste it adds!
