Brilio.net - There are many restaurants and stalls that sell crispy chicken or what is often called Kentucky chicken, one of which is KFC. This fast food restaurant sells fried chicken wrapped in flour with a crunchy and curly texture. Starting from children to adults, many people love this dish.
However, instead of just KFC chicken snacks, making them yourself at home could be a solution to prevent your wallet from going bankrupt, right? So, before making it, you can learn a number of cooking tricks first so that the resulting chicken mixture is as curly and crispy as at KFC.
One trick, you can add rice flour to the dough mixture. It is believed that rice flour can make the texture of the dough crispier when fried. However, if you don't want to use rice flour, this trick from TikTok account user @bang.joy89 can also be used as an alternative.
This man said that the KFC style fried chicken trick that he usually practices can make the dough curly and crispy even for up to 12 hours, you know.

Before getting into the trick, first prepare a container containing medium protein wheat flour. Then, mix the flour with the starter spices. The owner of the TikTok account @bang.joy89 mixes the seasoning himself from garlic powder, salt, pepper, baking soda, paprika, seasoning, onion powder, basil and oregano.
Stir first until the flour and baking powder are mixed evenly. Next, immediately put the chicken pieces into it. So that the chicken doesn't taste bland, you can use chicken pieces that have been marinated with your favorite spices for 1 night in the refrigerator.

Mix the chicken while turning it around so that the flour is evenly distributed and curls when it sticks to the surface of the chicken. If so, put the chicken in a container filled with boiled water. Repeat the process of covering the chicken in flour and dipping it in water one more time. Finally, just coat the chicken again with the flour mixture.

TikTok account user @bang.joy89 explained that if the flouring technique is right, the resulting dough texture that covers the chicken will be curly like his. Yup, this technique of beating the chicken by turning it around and around is the key to making the fried chicken curly and crispy later.

After that, prepare enough oil in a frying pan and heat it over a stable stove fire. Adjust the heat on each stove so that the temperature reaches 150 degrees. If the oil has reached that temperature, it means it is ready to be used to fry chicken.

Put the chicken one by one into the oil and fry until cooked. The owner of the TikTok account @bang.joy89 said the frying process can take approximately 12 minutes.
"If the heat is right, the chicken will immediately rise to the top, so don't fry it using a little oil," stressed the owner of the TikTok account @bang.joy89, quoted by BrilioFood on Tuesday (16/7).
