you'll have dry biscuits!. Cut with an oversized biscuit cutter (about 3?

kentucky fried chicken
2?3 pounds cut?up chicken pieces
1 Quart Water
3 tablespoons Salt (for soaking)
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon Accent (MSG)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Soybean Oil (no substitutions) for frying
Allow chicken to soak in salted water for a half hour!.
Mix egg and milk in a bowl!. Mix flour, Accent, salt, and pepper
in another bowl!. Preheat deep fryer to 350F, or place 3/4 inch
oil in a skillet set on medium!.
Dry chicken with paper towels!. Dredge in flour mixture, place in
milk/eggs, and then back to flour mixture!. Do this one piece at
a time making sure that there is total coverage over entire
surface of chicken in each step!.
KFC uses pressure cookers to fry chicken, which is risky to do
at home!. If you are using a deep fryer, fry a few pieces at a
time for about 20 minutes, covered, turning occasionally!.
Likewise, if pan frying, cook, covered, turning occasionally
for about 30 minutes!. As always with chicken, check the middle
of a large piece to check for doneness!.
Allow to drain on paper towels when cooking is completed

Try this recipe:

FRIED CHICKEN (LIKE KFC)

2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup flour
3/4 cup fine bread crumbs
1 tsp!. Knorr chicken bouillon
1/2 tsp!. salt
1/2 tsp!. garlic powder (not salt)
1/4 tsp!. onion powder (not salt)
1/2 tsp!. paprika
1/3 tsp!. Bell Seasoning
1 tbsp!. freshly chopped parsley
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp!. soy sauce
2 tsp!. black pepper
1 tbsp!. Wondra flour
1/2 tsp!. Monosodium Glutamate (optional)
additional flour for separate pre-coating
5-6 cups Crisco cooking oil
1 frying chicken, cut in pieces

Safety Warning: A special pressure fryer is the only type of pressure cooker that you can fry in safely!. Read your manufacturer's instructions before frying in a pressure cooker!. If you don't have your instruction manual, then prepare this chicken in a deep fryer instead!.
Pour the oil into the pressure fryer or deep pan suitable for frying, and then heat over medium heat to about 360 degrees!.

In a small bowl beat the egg, milk, and soy sauce, then stir in 1/2 tsp!. Knorr chicken bouillon (save the other 1/2)!. Put the garlic cloves through a garlic press and add into the egg mixture!. Add half of the parsley and 1 tbsp!. Wondra flour!. Stir well!.

In a separate bowl, combine the 1 cup flour and the bread crumbs, and the remaining ingredients!. Mix well with a fork!.

Put about 1/2 cup additional flour in a separate small bowl!. Use this to dip each chicken piece, prior to dipping in the milk and seasonings!.

Roll each piece of chicken around until well covered, first in plain flour, then in milk mixture, then in flour/bread crumbs mixture!.

Gently lower the chicken pieces into the hot oil and allow to become a golden color (add the bigger pieces first)!.


Pressure Fryer:

If you are using a pressure fryer, place the lid on and lock it when the chicken is a very light golden color, usually about 3 minutes!. Begin timing when the lid is locked and the gauge indicates a pressure of 5-6 pounds!. Bring temperature up immediately and watch carefully (don't walk away!)!.
Remove from heat after about 7 minutes and reduce pressure following manufacturer's directions!. Remove the chicken pieces and place on layers of paper towels!. Return the pan to the stove and bring temperature back up and continue until all chicken pieces are fried!. If your chicken was too brown, cook the next batch for a minute or so less, and vice versa if your chicken wasn't browned enough!. Do not overload the cooker with too many pieces, as it brings the temperature down too quickly and will cause the pieces to absorb more of the cooking oil than it otherwise would!.


Regular Deep Frying:

Fry the chicken at 360-375 degrees, placing the larger pieces in when the temperature is slightly lower (temperature will drop when pieces are added)!. Put the smaller pieces in when the temperature is higher, and they will be cooked more quickly!. Remove when chicken is golden brown and drain on paper towels!.
TIP: To flavor the oil in this method, you can thickly slice a few large onions and add to the oil before the chicken - skim these out when they are browned, before adding the chicken!. It will add an additional layer of flavor to the oil!Www@FoodAQ@Com
