Question: How to keep the skin on fried chicken!?
Everytime I fry chicken the skin falls off while it is cooking!. What am I doing wrong!? I heat the veg!. oil in a skillet!. I wash the chicken, season it and dip it in flour!. When the oil is hot I put them in the skillet to fry and flip them!. Why doesn't the skin stay on!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I suspect that you are trying to turn the chicken before its really ready!. The skin sticks to the bottom of the pan until its cooked thoroughly!. Try using more oil, a spatula as opposed to tongs and scoop from the bottom, and make sure that the breading is cooked before you turn the chicken!. The more chicken pieces you add to the skillet, the cooler the oil becomes, so only cook a few at a time to keep the temperature consistent!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can also try the three coat breading it gives a crunchier skin!. i agree with Jenny you are probably turning it to early
but try dipping in flour then an egg wash (beated eggs) then seasoned bread crumbsWww@FoodAQ@Com

Marinating the chicken too long will cause the skin to fall off!.

2 Hours is plenty to marinate chicken!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
