Ingredients
– 8 chicken thighs
– 500ml of milk
– 300 g flour
– 1 tablespoon of spices to taste: oregano, paprika, curry, onion powder, garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of the previous spices plus 100g of flour
– Salt and pepper
– Oil
Lets go cook
1- The first thing to make KFC-style fried chicken is to prepare a tempura. To do this, we put 300g of the flour and a tablespoon of each of the spices that we have chosen in a fairly wide container. We also add a good pinch of salt. It may seem like too many spices, but here is the secret of the recipe. In addition, when it comes to eating, they give that taste that we want but, they are not so noticeable in the mouth. We also add the milk, between 350 and 400 ml. The exact amount will depend a lot on the brand of flour used. The idea is to mix everything with a rod and leave a rather liquefied mass, but with a lot of body. When all the ingredients are well mixed, we pass the rod over the tempura and, if it sticks to it but immediately falls off, this will be the exact texture we want.
2- Now we put the seasoned chicken inside the tempura. We cover it well with it and cover it. We let it marinate for at least one hour in the refrigerator. Longer the better.
3- After time, we prepare the outer batter that the chicken will carry. In a plate we put the 100g of flour that we had reserved and we add half a teaspoon of the same spices that we had previously put to the tempura. We stir everything well so that all the spices are mixed with the flour.
4- We remove the chicken from the refrigerator and, without removing too much excess of the tempura dough, we pass it through the flour. Let him be well impregnated with it. Then we put it in plenty of olive oil, over high heat, but not too much or it will be raw in the center (I do it at a power of 7, a maximum of 9 that my ceramic hob has) and we fry it. They will be ready in about 10 minutes.
