Fried chicken help? - Lemmy.World

Hey, I’m trying to make fried chicken. I MUST today, for the sake of my future confidence and the joy of my day TODAY. I want to use chicken breast, thighs are too fatty for me. How? I’m looking up recipes but they all seem so disingenuous. I know that sounds stupid, but I thought maybe asking real people would give me a better chance. Chicken breast, buttermilk. Those are the only ingredients I feel like I must use. Anyone have any advice on the fried chicken? I’ve got regular canola oil, olive oil, extra virgin, and I’m waiting to visit the grocery store. I was about to go but I just don’t feel confident. Please, anyone have a list of ingredients worth using together?

I’m at the grocery store please

Canola oil works. Peanut oil tastes better but costs a bit more.

You’ll want flour for American style. Corn starch for Korean style.

Let me find some of my favorite recipes

American: www.bigoven.com/recipe/…/220278?utm_medium=yummly… This one looks close to the recipe I go with, except it has onions.

Korean: www.jocooks.com/recipes/korean-fried-chicken/?utm… Basically it’s fried chicken that gets covered in a delicious sauce. Buying the ingredients for the first time could add up, but once you have them you can make fried chicken at the drop of a hat

Note you can also filter the oil into a jar when you’re done so can reuse the oil.
Or freeze it. And you’re spot on. Mom saved bacon grease for cooking and kept it rotated. Good tip!
