INTRODUCTION
When we think of KFC, one thing comes to mind — that loud crunch followed by super juicy chicken. Right? That’s what we call Krispy Fried Chicken — with a “K” for that extra crunch!
Today we will make KFC style chicken at home. It’s not only simple, but it also tastes very close to the original. You’ll hear the crunch when you bite, and the inside stays soft and juicy.
Let’s begin this delicious journey of making KFC style Krispy Fried Chicken at home.
Time Required:
- Prep Time – 25 minutes
- Marination Time – 15 minutes
- Frying Time – 15 to 20 minutes
Why Do We Use 3 Coatings in KFC Style Chicken?
To get that authentic texture of KFC, we use three types of coatings.
Each layer adds:
- Crunch
- Flavor
- Stickiness
It’s not just about spice. It’s about balance between crispiness and taste. The chicken stays juicy, and the outside becomes crispy and flavorful.
Step-by-Step Recipe
Let’s break down the process.
Step 1: First Coating – Dry Dusting
This is the first marination. It helps the batter stick well.
Ingredients:
- Maida (all-purpose flour) – 1 cup
- Salt – as per taste
- Paprika powder or red chilli powder – ½ tsp
- Black pepper powder – a pinch
Steps:
- Mix all dry ingredients.
- This is your dry dusting mix.
- Coat chicken pieces with this and set aside for 10-15 minutes.
Step 2: Second Coating – Egg Batter
This is the glue layer. It helps the final coating stay firm.
Ingredients:
- Eggs – 2
- Salt – a pinch
- Maida – ¼ cup
- Chilled soda water – ¼ cup (add slowly)
Steps:
- Beat eggs with a pinch of salt.
- Add flour.
- Slowly pour chilled soda. Mix gently.
- You should get a thick flowing batter.
Tip: Don’t overmix. We want bubbles.
Step 3: Final Coating – Spicy Herb Mix
This is the flavor-loaded coating. It gives that KFC magic.
Ingredients:
- Maida – 1½ cups
- Salt – to taste
- White pepper – ½ tsp
- Dry ginger powder – ½ tsp
- Garlic powder – 1 tsp
- Clove powder – a pinch
- Nutmeg powder – a pinch
- Cinnamon powder – ½ tsp
- Paprika or red chilli powder – ½ tsp
- Mustard powder – ¼ tsp
- Dried basil – ½ tsp
- Oregano – ½ tsp
- Thyme – a pinch
Steps:
- Mix all dry spices with the flour.
- Keep aside in a big bowl.
- This will be the final coating before frying.
Frying the Chicken
Now comes the main part – frying.
Steps:
- Heat oil in a wok or kadai. Use medium-high flame.
- Take marinated chicken.
- First, coat it in the dry dusting (1st coating).
- Dip it in the egg batter (2nd coating).
- Roll it into the herb-spice mix (3rd coating).
- Press gently so the coating sticks.
- Shake off extra flour.
- Drop into hot oil.
- Fry till golden brown and crunchy.
- Remove and keep on paper towel.
Listen carefully – you will hear the crunch!
Kunal’s Tips and Tricks
Here are some awesome pro tips shared by Kunal Kapur:
- Oil must be hot but not smoking. Medium-high is perfect.
- Never overcrowd the pan. It makes oil cooler and food soggy.
- Always use chilled soda or even beer in the batter for max crunch.
- To give it an Indian touch, you can add garam masala or potli masala in the final coating.
- If you are vegetarian, no worries! You can use:
- Paneer cubes
- Baby corn
- Soya chaap
Just follow the same 3-layer coating process.
