How do I get my fried chicken really crispy?!
I love fried chicken but when I make it, the breading is so sparse and thin!. How do I achieve really crispy, heavily breaded fried chicken!? also, when I make it, the chicken itself is actually cooked but the breading is not!. What to do!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
double coat it; (egg, then water you use to coat it) stick it in the fridge and give it a few minutes then recoat it!.
also use panko (breadcrumbs) or even potato chips (i like sour cream and onion) or corn flakes (unfrosted) as they are crunchier than just flour!.
finally make sure the grease if hot enough before you put the chicken in!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The recipes you have gotten are great but they don't mention the fact that after coating with the flour the first time, set the chicken in the fridge to dry well before you dip and roll again!. Then let dry again before frying!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I learned this from my Grandmother who was a great cook!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Mix in a little rice flour w/ the regular flour that you bread it in!. You can also use panko, japanese bread crumbs, to coat it for very crispy breading!.
As for the 2nd question, use raw chicken so it cooks along w/ breading!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
