Fried Chicken should never be greasy and over saturated. This recipe will show you the right way how to prepare this popular dish. It comes out perfectly ever single time!
Let's Get Started…
Ingredients To Gather:
- Vegetable or canola oil
- 1 lb chicken thighs (3 or 4)
- Salt and pepper
Directions To Follow:
-
Lightly coat a heavy 10-inch skillet with oil, and warm over medium-low heat.
-
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, and season the skin side evenly with salt. Add the thighs to the pan, skin side down, laying them flat. Salt and pepper the flesh side well.
-
Now let it ride. The sizzle will get louder, with some pops, but it should max out.
-
After 10 minutes, tilt the pan and spoon off some of the fat, leaving just enough to keep the sizzle going.
-
Wait another 5 minutes, then use a thin metal spatula to lift the thighs and check on the skin. It should be light golden. If it's darker, lower the heat.
-
Check again after another 15 minutes: The skin should be almost orange. Spoon off the remaining fat, flip the thighs, and cook the flesh side for 5 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
Finished!
This recipe is quick, easy and impossible to get wrong. Now just let the chicken set for 5 minutes with the skin side up and you're ready to go. Serve it up with a couple of veggie side dishes or a fresh salad.
Yum!
