Chicken Fried Chicken
Chicken Fried Chicken
"Chicken fried chicken is all about that extra-crispy crust. Skinless chicken breasts are double-dipped, fried until golden, and topped with creamy white country gravy. With just a bit of prep and quick frying, you get a comforting, crunchy, Southern classic that feels like something special without too much fuss. The key to the crispiest chicken when cooking skinless chicken breasts, is double dipping the chicken in a flour mixture that contains cornstarch and baking powder. This mixture coats the chicken and helps soak up the buttermilk to get super tender chicken with a crispy coating. Since the chicken doesn't have skin like traditional buttermilk fried chicken, you need to double-coat it and let it chill to keep the coating on the chicken. Chicken fried chicken seems a bit redundant, right? Well, the name actually comes from chicken fried steak, which is where the technique came from. Both are homestyle recipes that are great afor weeknight dinners."
