The only poor fried chicken is fried chicken. (And yet, honestly, a Quick air fry will fix it Okay.) However, there are undeniably spectacular ways to obtain a cracking crust, and which should always be considered. For example, karaage method Or copy Fast food methodThere is another fried chicken trick that I have recently become aware, and unlike the other two I mentioned, this is not an additional step. There is no three-part batsman, and does not require a dip in an egg bowl (still priced). This is a step with a simple flour swap, and it changes everything.
Self-race is important
I have always used all-pest flour regularly for frying for my better crisp properties, or for potato flour, but self-realization flour was a complete surprise. This dough is ever present on the shelves of my grocery store, never much used for me. For those who do not use it much, self-aggravated flour has a reliable proportion of all-pest flour, baking powder and salt. So if you want to create a quick pancake recipe, you can use a scoop of this stuff and add those other two ingredients to your recipe.
I know that people in the UK often use it, but I am always away from not being able to control lending agents and salt in my baking. But while reading the dishes Still we get upA luxurious kitchen book with dishes for biscuits dishes and other things that you will enjoy with a biscuit nearby, I came to the Glory-Fride Chicken Biscuit Sandwich. You guessed: The recipe uses self-grown flour.

An easy, light and crispy coating
After the recipe, there is a section of notes called The Gospel of Fried chicken, and the council (author) briefly describes why self-gross flour works. The involved salt enhances the taste – there is no surprise – but the baking powder plays a big role in giving a thin, shattered crust to the fried chicken. Many drags are not required through flour or egg deception to make the crust spectacular.
As a leaving agent, it is the duty of baking powder to have the duty to raise and lift our cake and muffin up, but it also makes that thin layer in its chicken in the coating. When hydrated and heated, baking powder reacts and produces carbon dioxide. It looks like small bubbles in the cake, but on chicken it produces a delicate, wavy crust.
How to use self-growing dough for fried chicken
1. Salty
Whenever I roast the chicken, I like to brine a buttermilk if the time moves it forward. Yogurt will also work, and usually I use it. Even an hour can make a difference of how juicy and tender the chicken will be. I pressed some skin-on chicken drumstick in yogurt with a pinch of salt for about an hour. Then I prepared my flour drag.
2. Coat chicken
I mixed about three-fourths of a cup of self-utto with half a teaspoon of salt (a little extra is required for fried chicken), a teaspoon of cornstarch (which provides which provides Additional Starch for Crunch), And a spraying of garlic and onion powder.

Then comes the easy part: chicken coating. I put a drumstick in the dough at a time and coated it completely. Just once. Then let them dry on a wire rack while I heated the oil.
What do you think so far?
3. Fry chicken
I heated about an inch of cooking oil in a Dutch oven until it reached 350 ° F and until they were deeply brown on the sides and the internal temperature reached 160 ° F (Carryover Cooking (ie, when the food continues to cook with heat for several minutes – it takes up to 165 ° F to take care of the remaining five degrees).
In fact, with the least attempts I have put it in a fried chicken, I made a batch of the best drumsticks that I have done in a long time. And with the arrival of picnic and backyard parties, you also deserve this ease.
Although I have not tried this self-grown flour coating on other fried morals, such as chicken tenders, brinjal, tofu, or tonchini planks, I believe it will also work. Actually, I think I have a packet of tofu in the fridge right now. I know what I should do.
