Crispy Fried Chicken – Classic Style

Ingredients

Dry Coating Mix

  • 200gPlain Flour
  • 2 tspChilli Powder
  • 1 tspBlack Pepper
  • 1 tspGarlic Powder
  • 1 tspSalt
  • 2 tspPaprika

Wet Coating

  • 2 (beaten)Eggs

Main Ingredients

  • 6-8 piecesChicken Drumsticks
  • Sufficient for deep fryingVegetable Oil

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1.Prepare the Dry Coating Mix

    In a large bowl, combine 200g plain flour, 2 tsp chilli powder, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tsp paprika. Mix well with a fork until all ingredients are evenly combined and the flour has a uniform color.

  2. 2.Prepare the Wet Coating

    In a separate shallow dish, beat 2 eggs until well combined and slightly frothy. This will be your wet coating for the chicken.

  3. 3.First Egg Dip

    Take one chicken drumstick and dip it completely into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.

  4. 4.First Flour Coating

    Transfer the egg-coated chicken to the dry flour mixture. Coat it thoroughly, pressing the flour onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.

  5. 5.Second Egg Dip

    Dip the flour-coated chicken back into the beaten egg for a second wet coating. This double-coating method helps create a thicker, crispier crust.

  6. 6.Second Flour Coating and Shake Off Excess

    Return the chicken to the dry flour mixture for a second coating, ensuring it's completely covered and pressing the flour firmly. Gently shake off any excess flour. Repeat this double-coating process for all remaining chicken pieces.

  7. 7.Heat the Oil

    Heat a sufficient amount of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches deep-frying temperature (around 175°C / 350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small pinch of flour; it should sizzle immediately.

  8. 8.Deep Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken drumsticks into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary. Deep fry for approximately 5 minutes until the chicken starts to turn golden brown.

  9. 9.Flip and Continue Frying

    Using tongs, flip the chicken pieces over to allow both sides to cook evenly. Continue frying for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear, and the coating is a deep golden brown and crispy.

  10. 10.Remove and Serve

    Carefully remove the crispy fried chicken from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup or sweet chilli sauce, and a side of fries.

Helpful Tips

Small details that can improve the final result.

  • 1
    Cooking tipEnsure the Oil Is at

    Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (around 175°C / 350°F) for even cooking and crispiness. If the oil is too cold, the chicken will be greasy; if too hot, the coating will burn before the chicken cooks through.

  • 2
    Cooking tipDo Not Overcrowd the Pan When Frying

    As this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy chicken. Fry in batches if necessary.

  • 3
    Cooking tipShake Off Excess Flour After

    Shake off excess flour after each coating to prevent a thick, doughy crust and ensure a crispier texture.
