Triple Dipped Fried Chicken

Fried-chicken2

This recipe gives a great crispy, golden exterior to the fried chicken. It looks fantastic but the taste (as is) was a little bland. See recipe notes for more details.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour  
  • 1 ½ tbsp garlic salt
  • 1 tbsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • ½ tsp poultry seasoning
     
  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour  
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups beer or water
     
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces

Directions

  1. In one medium bowl, mix together 3 cups of flour, garlic salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, paprika and poultry seasoning. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 1/3 cups flour, salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, egg yolks and beer. You may need to thin with additional beer if the batter is too thick.

  2. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Moisten each piece of chicken with a little water, then dip in the dry mix. Shake off excess and dip in the wet mix, then dip in the dry mix once more.

  3. Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for 15 to 18 minutes, or until well browned. Smaller pieces will not take as long. Large pieces may take longer. Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.

NOTES:

  • I use a Batter Bowl when doing the dry coat and it works out really well. The chicken doesn't end up a gloppy mess.
  • For my first attempt, I didn't have garlic salt or chicken seasoning so I used garlic powder, seasoned salt, and Mrs. Dash. Not sure it mattered much. I felt like it needed more seasoning in the batter and dry coat.
  • Next time I would soak the chicken in a brine solution overnight to give it more flavor.
