Brilio.net - Crispy fried chicken always succeeds in tempting the appetite, either as a side dish with rice or as a delicious snack. The crispiness that comes from the flour coating is the key to the pleasure that makes many people addicted. Every bite gives a savory sensation and a crunchy texture that pampers the tongue, making it a favorite choice on various occasions.
The main secret behind the crispy crispy fried chicken lies in the layer of flour that coats it. The right processing process, from the selection of flour to the frying technique, greatly affects the end result. The flour used is usually a mixture of wheat flour and cornstarch, which is then seasoned with various spices to add flavor.
In addition to the type of flour used, the way the chicken is coated also has a big influence. So that the flour can stick perfectly and make the fried chicken crispier and softer, you can use the technique used by TikTok user @bunda.alif.aisyah. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted to stirring the chicken up to 60 times at that stage. So what does that mean?
As reported by BrilioFood from the TikTok account @bunda.alif.aisyah on Thursday (3/10), the netizen admitted to counting each stir when coating the chicken with flour. To be more precise, she only used dry flour for the coating. However, so that this flour sticks perfectly, she also prepared a wet mixture made from plain water only.

First, put the chicken pieces into the dry flour. Then stir using a dry spatula. Stir the chicken up to 40 times. At this stage, make sure your hands are also dry.

Once stirred, immediately dip the chicken into the water until completely submerged. Without stirring, immediately drain the chicken. Then put the chicken pieces back into the dry flour mixture. At this stage, stir the chicken 60 times using your hands.
"You can press it gently every now and then, turn it over and over again. Make sure your hands are not wet. So, you can provide a cloth when your hands are wet, wipe them immediately," said TikTok @bunda.alif.aisyah.
