Wicket Double Fried Chicken

I absolutely adore chicken, especially mine! Fried! Twice! This recipe came about through trial and error, don't get me wrong i've been frying chicken forever but this method ensures tender, moist chicken extra crispy on the outside. Any part(s) of the chicken will do just fine,(my all time favorite is wings). listen ya'll, i'm trying to be healthy here, but i gotta tell you, this is FRIED! fattening at best, but you only live once, right? so prepare yourselves for a truly orgasmic delight!

Ingredients:

  • chicken (your favorite cuts)
  • 1 to 2 cups flour
  • garlic salt or powder
  • cayenne pepper
  • seasoning salt (lawry's or aromat or your favorite)
  • paprika
  • 1/2 to 3/4 liter of oil for frying (sunflower or canola)

Pre-heat oil on moderate setting, season chicken with garlic,cayenne, seasoning salt and paprika liberally on both sides.In a large plastic or paper bag, add flour, make sure oil is hot (not smoking!) and add 4 or 5 pieces of chicken at a time and shake until chicken is well coated. Gently place chicken in oil and cover. Cook for 3 minutes on BOTH sides. Remove chicken and set aside to REST. (this is what makes the difference, the chicken is still cooking while it is resting!) add the next batch and so on until all chicken is par-fried. pour yourself a glass of wine or iced tea and turn the fire way down. wait about 5 minutes, turn the fire back up to medium and re-fry chicken until golden brown. check for doneness by piercing with a fork, if juices run clear, it is done. You may need to leave some pieces to cook a bit longer, depending on the piece .i.e. thighs need a bit longer than wings. this method works for me the chicken comes out crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside! p.s. for extra spicy,use extra cayenne!

Yum! Yum!
