How To Make KFC Spicy Chicken (Copycat)
Enjoy a juicy bite with a kick in this KFC spicy chicken recipe, made with three kinds of pepper, for a finger-licking good dish!
Ingredients
- 1 whole frying chicken, cut up and marinated
- 8 cups shortening
For Coating:
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2½ tsp salt
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp white pepper
- 3⁄4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3⁄4 tsp msg
- 1⁄8 tsp garlic powder
- 1⁄8 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Trim any excess skin and fat from the chicken pieces.
-
Preheat shortening in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Coating:
-
Combine beaten egg and milk in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, combine the remaining coating ingredients.
-
When the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to paper towels so that excess liquid can drain off. Working with 1 piece at a time, dip in egg and milk. Then coat chicken with the dry flour mixture coated very generously.
-
Stack chicken on a plate or cookie sheet until each piece has been coated. Carefully drop chicken, 1 piece at a time into the hot shortening.
-
Fry ½ of the chicken at a time for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Stir the chicken around halfway through the cooking time so that each piece cooks evenly. Remove chicken to a rack or towels to drain and cool for about 5 minutes before eating.
-
Serve and enjoy.
