How to Make KFC Extra Crispy Fried Chicken

extra crispy fried chicken takes a little more time, but the results speak for themselves. Home chefs can save money by crafting the crispy chicken at home rather than buying it at their local KFC restaurant. The fried chicken is best when served hot, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to a week. Reheated crispy fried chicken tends make the coating mushy, so consider re-purposing the chicken for a salad, pasta, casserole or sandwich. This KFC Extra Crispy Fried Chicken recipe is suitable for almost any chicken parts, but chicken breasts and legs are the easiest to cook.

Clean chicken and cover with 2 cups of buttermilk. Place chicken in refrigerator and allow it to soak for about 2 hours, stirring at the hour mark.

In a large bowl. mix together flour, ground oregano, Accent seasoning, Italian seasoning, ground ancho chili pepper, onion salt, garlic powder,black, pepper, salt and paprika. Place spiced flour mixture into a sealable plastic bag.

In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites with remaining 2 cups of buttermilk. Be sure the bowl you use is suitable for dipping chicken pieces.

Dredge each chicken piece in the buttermilk mixture so each piece is well coated.

Add frying oil into a pressure fryer and allow it to heat to 365 degrees. A deep fryer can be substituted for a pressure fryer.

Add chicken pieces into the spiced flour mixture, then close the top. Shake to coat the chicken.

Place each piece of chicken on a wire rack and allow the coating to dry.

Avoid over crowding the fryer as it will make the coating fall off.

If you like your chicken on the spicier side, consider adding some Cayenne pepper to the spice mixture, or topping your copycat KFC extra crispy fried chicken with a hot sauce like Texas Pete.
