Can I pre-fry Fried Chicken hours before event, refrigerate it and still keep it's crispiness?!
I know this sounds like a weird question!. I would like to add fried chicken to my 4th of July menu but I don't want to be standing over the stove when guests are arriving!. Has anyone ever "pre-fried" fried chicken, refrigerated it, and warmed it back up while still maintaining it's crispy texture!? If so, how!? Thank you in advance for your help :0)Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's the Fourth- go traditional and serve it cold! You could cook it until almost done, and then pop back in the fryer to finish with good results- but much easier to cook it all the way, drain well on paper (paper towels or a brown paper bag) and then refrigerate on a new layer of paper and serve cold!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No!. The answer is to recruite some of your guests to help you cook the chicken!. Use the stove, have some guests bring camp stoves and pans!. Bread the chicken ahead of time then cook it all at once!. Should only take about a 1/2 hour to cook it if you have lots of help!. You could probably make enough to feed 50 people if you have a stove and 3 campstoves with two burners each!. Just make sure that you have a plan for each person to follow and are prepped to drain the grease and keep the chicken hot!. Colonel Sanders is the other alternative or the grocery store deli where you sometimes can buy 50 pieces for a good price!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No matter what you do it will not be crisp!. I suggest that you fix something else, or serve it cold, or have hubby BBQ it on the grill!. Guys can do this stuff!. You should stay out of the kitchen when the guests are there!. (At least not be cooking!.)

You might put some crushed potato chips in the breading (DO NOT USE CORN CHIPS! you get cornbread covered chicken and it's not too good) but, I don't know how much crispiness it will retain but, to me, I love (as it were) leftover chicken, almost better than fresh!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no - if you refreigerate it, it will get moist and lose the crispiness!. just fry it a little before the guests arrive, and leave it out!. it will be good at room temperature!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would par cook it and then reheat in a hot oven, if you are using pieces!.
I don't think I would try it with a whole chicken!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
