How To Make Copycat Popeyes Crispy Fried Chicken
Ingredients
- 6 cups vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp white pepper
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 frying chicken, with skin, cut up
Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat.
- Combine all-purpose flour, paprika, white pepper, cayenne pepper and salt into a bowl.
-
Break eggs in another bowl and beat until blended.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the eggs and then coat with the flour mixture.
-
Leave the chicken uncovered on a baking sheet for around 20 minutes. This lets the egg wash dry out so the breading sticks on the chicken better.
-
Test the oil temperature by dropping a pinch of flour into the oil. If the oil bubbles rapidly around the flour, it is ready to be used.
- Place each slice of chicken in the hot oil one at a time with the skin side facing down.
-
Fry until all sides of the chicken have turned golden brown and the meat is properly cooked. Drain on paper towels and serve.
