THE CRISPIEST FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY
We tested dozens of different methods to fried chicken and we finally found what we think is the crispiest and juiciest version. The first step is to dry brine the chicken, which is a fancy way of saying to season it overnight. This process actually helps the meat retain its moisture while frying, making it extra juicy. The next step is the double-dredge method where you dip the chicken in seasoned flour, then in buttermilk, then back in the flour before frying to get those extra crackly bits. Let us know what you think!

Steps:
- Dry brine the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon zest.
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and season with the salt mixture, evenly coating each piece.
- Line a large resealable container with paper towels and add the seasoned chicken. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- 30 minutes before frying, remove the chicken from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature.
- Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set nearby.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg whites, and vodka.
- Working with one piece at a time, coat the dry-brined chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, then again in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Add 2-3 pieces of chicken to the hot oil and fry for 7-10 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil, transfer to the wire rack, and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Enjoy!
BEST-EVER FRIED CHICKEN
Crispy, juicy and perfectly seasoned, this really is the best fried chicken recipe, ever. Summer reunions and neighborly gatherings will never be the same. When I was growing up, my parents had a farm, and every year, Dad would hire teenage boys to help by haying time. They looked forward to coming because they knew they would be treated to some of Mom's deep fryer recipes, including this delicious fried chicken. -Lola Clifton, Vinton, Virginia

FRIED CHICKEN 101
Can't go wrong with fried chicken. Marinate chicken overnight in buttermilk to give it a tangy flavor, and use the good ole trusty cast iron skillet, as it allows the chicken to brown evenly without burning, and remember to cook dark meat separately than white as it take a bit longer to cook. **Using table salt in place of Kosher will result in too much salt....chicken will be too salty!!**

- Start with a milk marinade for 30-60 minutes. Cover the chicken with the milk and allow it to set in the refrigerator. Buttermilk would be excellent here.
- Preheat oven to 375° convection or 400° conventional. Mix 1 cup AP flour with 1 tablespoon seasoning salt (I used Lowery's), two teaspoon paprika, one teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Slice up four tablespoons of butter into an oven and stovetop safe pan. Place in the hot oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the butter. I use a 12-inch cast-iron pan.
- Shake off any extra milk and dip in the flour mixture. If you have skipped the milk brine, trim and dry the chicken well then dip in an egg bath with one egg and a teaspoon of water. Cover completely with the egg mixture, shake off excess and proceed with the flour coating.
