You Should Be Adding These Ingredients To Your Fried Chicken
BY MELISSA NICHOLSON
Buttermilk
Buttermilk gives any recipe a little bite and is a rich alternative to milk that’s used to drench the chicken before coating it in whatever breading you're using.
Salt And Pepper
Without salt and pepper, fried chicken will be quite dull. You should sprinkle a liberal amount of each seasoning into your flour mixture before frying.
Cornstarch
With cornstarch mixed into your flour, your chicken will don a beautiful brown color when fried, and you'll enjoy a crunch that you can't get with just flour.
Butter
Chicken is usually fried in oil because it works well, but it doesn’t taste all that great. If you add butter to the oil, it’ll bring salty goodness to everything it touches.
Parmesan
Grated parmesan provides a crunchy coating with a slightly sharp flavor. Simply toss some into your flour mixture along with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
