Copycat KFC™ Original-Style Chicken

Step 1

Preheat fryer to 350°F. Thoroughly mix together all spices.

Step 2

Combine spices with flour, brown sugar and salt.

Step 3

Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat them, then transfer to flour mixture. Turn a few times and make sure the flour mix is really stuck to the chicken. Repeat with all the chicken pieces.

Step 4

Let chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes so crust has a chance to dry a bit.

Step 5

Fry chicken in batches. Breasts and wings should take 12-14 minutes, and legs and thighs will need a few more minutes. Chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.

Step 6

Let chicken drain on a few paper towels when it comes out of the fryer. Serve hot.
