Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is chicken coated with a breading mixture or batter and pan fried (or deep fried if that is the case). Usually, the meaty part of the chicken is used for this dish but who could resist fried chicken wings. The purpose of the breading (or batter) is to make the outer-part of the chicken crispy (crispy-licious ummm!).

There are several ways to fry a chicken and this fried chicken recipe is just one of the hundreds out there. I personally liked this recipe because of its richness in flavor. The chicken is crispy and tasty on the outside but juicy in the inside.
