Double Dipped Fried Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In one medium bowl, mix together 3 cups of flour, garlic salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, paprika and poultry seasoning. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 1/3 cups flour, salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, egg yolks and beer. You may need to thin with additional beer if the batter is too thick.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Moisten each piece of chicken with a little water, then dip in the dry mix. Shake off excess and dip in the wet mix, then dip in the dry mix once more.
• Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for 15 to 18 minutes, or until well browned. Smaller pieces will not take as long. Large pieces may take longer. Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.

Steps:

• Season chicken wings with equal parts salt and pepper-just enough to lightly coat the wings, then rub gently into wings.
• Mix flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Dredge each wing in the mix until there's NO visible moisture on each wing. Shake off excess, then set aside on a plate or rack.
• Pour 2 inches of oil in a pot, or enough to submerge the wings. (If you're frying up whole wings-where the drumette, the wingette, and the tip haven't been cut apart-pour in 3 inches.)
• Over high heat, heat the oil to 350°F. Par(tially)-fry the wings for 10 minutes, then remove from pot, and shake off any excess oil. The par-fry cooks the chicken completely through, sealing in the flavor, while starting to form the outside crispy layer.
• Set wings on a paper towel-lined plate or rack for 5 minutes, or until they cool to room temperature. This prevents the meat from overcooking, while keeping in its moisture.
• OPTIONAL: You can store the par-fried wings in the fridge and do the second wing fry the next day. Just be sure the wings are at room temperature when you fry them.
• Once the wings cool down, reheat the oil to 350°F and fry them a second time for 10 more minutes. The second fry crisps the wings to the point of delicious crunchiness. Remove wings, then shake off excess oil. Brush on or toss wings in a bowl with your favorite sauce. Or, if you just want the purest form of savory, crunchy wings around, eat 'em as is, which I often do as a "taste test."

Steps:

• Cure chicken: In a bowl, add onion powder, salt, and mustard powder, and combine until well blended. Add the chicken wings to a large bowl, sprinkle with about half the curing mixture, and get in there with your hands to coat each piece well. (Note: This is enough cure for 8 whole wings or 1 whole chicken, so you won't need to use all of it. Save it in an airtight container for next time!) Place the coated wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, keeping the skin intact; lightly cover with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Bring the cured chicken to room temperature. (You don't want to fry ice-cold chicken, because it won't cook all the way through, and it will chill the frying oil.) Meanwhile, make the batter: In a large bowl, add the cornstarch, flour, and salt. Slowly pour in the cold water, whisking continuously, until the mixture is smooth and the consistency of thin pancake batter. Add more water as needed to thin the batter.
• Heat oil: Clip a candy or deep fry thermometer onto a large, heavy pot. Add enough canola oil to fully submerge the wings-about halfway up the side of the pot. (Oil expands as it heats, so don't overfill the pot.) Heat the oil over low heat until it reaches at least 300 degrees F. (It's fine if the oil temperature goes up as high as 350 degrees F, because it will drop once the chicken is added.) Coat chicken: Separate each wing into two pieces by slicing through the joint between the drumette and the wing. When the oil is hot, add all the chicken into the batter and fully coat each piece.
• First fry: Use tongs to pick up a wing and allow some of the excess batter to drip off. Gently swirl the tip of the wing in the hot oil to set the crust; this will prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Then ease the rest of the wing into the oil. Repeat with all the wings. Fry for 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to make sure the wings don't stick together or to the bottom of the pot. If they do stick, gently separate them with the spoon; try not to tear the delicate crust!
• After 10 minutes, use the slotted spoon to transfer the wings to drain on a wire rack or paper towels on a baking sheet. The chicken will not be fully cooked-there's a second fry. Let the chicken rest, 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, reheat the oil to just above 350 degrees F (temperature will drop slightly when the chicken is added). Use the slotted spoon to remove and discard stray bits of batter from the oil. (Note: The chicken can be made to this point up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated; bring it back to room temperature before the second fry.)
• Second fry: When the oil is hot, use the slotted spoon to gently ease the wings back in. Fry for 4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
• Use the slotted spoon to transfer the chicken pieces to a clean wire rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then serve. (Note: Frying oil can be reused several times for frying chicken. Cool the oil completely, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean jar. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.)

Steps:

• Heat 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium high heat. A cube of bread should brown in a 40 count when oil is ready.
• Set out 3 disposable pie tins. Mix flour with paprika, poultry seasoning, cayenne, and allspice. Divide seasoned flour between 2 tins. Pour buttermilk into a tin. Line up tins as such: flour, buttermilk, and then flour.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat chicken pieces in flour, then buttermilk, then a second coating of flour.
• Cook chicken 6 minutes on each side, until deep golden brown and firm. Drain chicken on paper bags and cool before packing up for picnic basket.

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
• In a shallow platter, combine the buttermilk, water, and red pepper sauce.
• Soak the chicken pieces, turn to coat, then cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• If time allows, marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours because the buttermilk promotes tenderness.
• Place flour in a shallow platter.
• Season it by mixing in salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, paprika, and cayenne.
• Roll the marinated chicken pieces in the flour, a few at a time, until well coated.
• Then, dip chicken in the buttermilk bath again followed by another coat of seasoned flour.
• Allow the chicken to sit in the flour and dry out while preparing the oil, this will help the coating stay on better.
• The buttermilk will keep absorbing the seasoned flour, which then fries up to form a crunchy crust.
• Heat oil in a large elctric skillet to 350 degrees F.
• There should be about 1-inch of fat in the pan.
• Carefully add the chicken pieces in a single layer, skin side down.
• Do not crowd the pan or the temperature will plummet; make sure the fat continues to bubble around the chicken.
• Fry for 5 minutes, then turn the pieces over and fry the other side 5 minutes.
• Turn again, frying a total of 15 minutes.
• The turning will produce a golden-crisp skin with even color.
• Remove chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Do not put hot chicken directly in a bowl or container, the air won't circulate and the steam will cause the crust to fall off.
• Serve immediately or cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Wash the chickens and place in a large bowl. (Make sure to wash your hands after you handle raw poultry.) Mix the balsamic and the rosemary and pour over the chickens. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, remove the chicken and discard the balsamic. In a clean bowl, toss the chicken with the buttermilk. Remove the chicken pieces, reserving the buttermilk.
• Pour Arborio Rice Coating into a large plastic bag or container. Add the chicken in batches, shaking to coat. Put chicken back in buttermilk, adding more buttermilk if necessary to coat all the pieces. Dip the chicken pieces in the rice mixture to dredge them, then carefully dip them in the buttermilk again, and then dip a second time in the rice mixture. Pat well to remove excess flour. Refrigerate coated chicken for at least 1 hour to allow coating to adhere to flesh of the chicken.
• Heat about 2 inches of peanut oil in a heavy skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat to 335 degrees F. Slip some of the chicken pieces skin side down into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd; fry in batches (or 2 separate skillets) if necessary. Cook until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 10 to15 minutes per side. Drain thoroughly on a wire rack or crumpled paper towels and serve. Can be eaten hot, cold, or at room temperature.
• Put the rice in a blender and grind until very fine. Shake out into a large bowl and add the semolina, flour, salt, and pepper. Toss until well blended. Store in a sealed container in the freezer to maintain maximum freshness.
• Chef's Note: This is one place I do use table salt. In general I prefer kosher salt and gray salt, but kosher salt is too heavy and will not stay distributed throughout the coating.
