Tim your so kind thank you❤️
Delicious
Darlin, I don't know for a fact if you're a grandma or not, but I'd almost bet my life you are solely based on your cooking skills. That might be the best looking fried chicken I've seen on here. You did real good. Love how you're down to earth too, like so many wonderful women I know.
I’m definitely a grandma and I truly thank you for your kind words ❤️
Absolutely, many recipies on youtube but this one have a great looking! Thank you for your knowledge Cooking With Donna!
Thank you so much❤️
Miss Donna, I'm 67 years old and I never knew how to fry chicken pieces, I've tried so may recipes in the past and all were not very good. This recipe is worth trying again. Than you, they look absolutely amazing and delicious. Thank you for sharing with us.
Poochyface i have my fingers crossed you like it ❤️

Did you like it? Did the pieces came out like in the video?
This is very good, detailed instruction. I do feel peanut oil is best. A large Le Cruset enameled cast iron Dutch oven is the best. The most important thing she stressed here is something most recipes don’t tell you. Start at 350, but temp will drop immediately. Keep it between 300 and 325. If you try to get it back to 350 you will burn the outside before inside is cooked through. Between batches get it back to 350. Also try to buy 2 1/2 pound chickens and cut them yourself. When you buy cut up chicken the pieces are from 10 different chickens that have been raised on different feed and will not cook the same, and some will even taste better than other pieces. You want every piece to be great.
Thank you kindly Jw I appreciate you dropping in and you are absolutely correct on the peanut oil ❤️

I made the same mistake for 50+ years. Keeping the oil at 350 caused me to have burnt coating while internal temp was always 155 or less. I found a recipe that fixed that. The recipe called for using an electric skillet set at 325 & peanut oil. So, I went & bought one! And my chicken has been perfect ever since. The electric skillet has a larger heating element, so it's easier for it to maintain 325 & not have to have a higher temp to compensate for the loss of heat when chicken is added. I use between 1.5" to 2" of oil & fry the chicken for 12-15 minutes at 325. I only turn each piece one time. The coating is not burnt while internal temp is anywhere from 165-175. I was never a fan of using an electric skillet for deep frying until I prepared my deep fried chicken that way. I incorporated that electric skillet in several other of my recipes now. It heats more evenly & I've learned that I can reduce the heat setting by 25 degrees in many cases. The electric skillets are available in a variety of sizes.
Le Cruset ?
How Fancy
They do last forever albeit very expensive .
That may be the best looking fried chicken I've seen on TH-cam. And, I have seen A LOT!!!!
Thank you kindly I truly appreciate it❤️
Been watching tons of Southern Fried Chicken recipes lately (even though I’ve been cooking 57 yrs) and this is so common sense and logical. Plus, it's easy. It reminds me of my mom cooking fried chicken. Brining meat is the best way to keep it juicy. Thank you!
Thank you so much for dropping in and you are so welcome!❤️
Miss Donna, I made your recipe tonight and it was a delicious hit!!! My husband said, it was the best piece of chicken he’s ever ate! Told me to throw out any other recipe I might have for fried chicken, this is the ONE! ❤ Thank you so very much for sharing 🥰
Veronica my heart is happy thank you for the feedback so glad y’all enjoyed!❤️
I'm 70 years old and I also am looking for this special chicken receipt, I hope this is it!
@johnthroop2092 I truly hope you enjoy!❤️
Girl, i can tell you know your way around a southern kitchen! Looks delicious! And your collard greens were to die for!
Thank you for your kind words ❤️ and I’m so happy you enjoyed the greens❤️
I’ve watched a ton of fried chicken videos on TH-cam and this one is easily in the top five best of all time based on appearance. I think that you are right on with the light egg whites and water wet part. Using whole eggs and buttermilk make a crust that’s too thick and dense. I can’t wait to try this!!!
I hope you enjoy and have wonderful results ❤️
The way you flipped the chicken every few minutes is a game changer. I’ve seen far too many videos where the cook fries chicken in shallow oil and only flips it once and one side of the crust gets burnt and they act like that’s normal and O.K. I’m so impressed!!!!
❤️
I've been trying to find the best, easiest instructional video to make fried chicken for years....no, seriously. I think I've found it. Thanks
❤️🥰
I wish you great results
I love fried chicken and make it all the time. My aunt told me how to do it a long time ago.
I found that if you fry the chicken halfway and then put it in the oven and let it finish. It's so much juicier has so much more flavor give it a shot, you'll see what I mean.
❤️
For YEAARS, I have complained that every. single. piece. of home. cooked. fried chicken never results in the same flaky, savoury crust as fast food faves. It's always too crusty, with overly browned spots too close to the cast iron skillet. Or too bread-crumby. Or too crackly like tempura.
I have finally found the masterpiece I've been searching for. THANK YOU DONNA!!!
Caymon you just made my day!❤️
First time on your channel and I was shaking my head during the first half of the video when I thought you were going to fry chicken at 350.But then you made a great point that once you add the first batch the temp will drop up to 50 degrees and for me that is the perfect temp. For me 300 is the fried chicken sweet spot. Done juicy and crispy, thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching ❤️
When you said “give it another crunch Curtis!” I closed my eyes and listened to that crunch with a smile on my face.
😋❤️
Thank you Donna for this FABULOUS recipe! I only used 1tbl Lawry's and 1 tbl Tony Cachere's and brined it overnight. The majority of the flavor was in the juicy chicken and not the breading. I encourage your viewers to try this recipe as written. It is indeed restaurant quality!
I’m so happy you enjoyed! thank you for the the feedback ❤️
Very informative! Thank you!
When my mom fried chicken, she would test the oil with the rounded handle of a wooden spoon. She'd stick the handle in the heated oil, and If it started to bubble up right away, the oil was ready. :) Best fried chicken ever!
(rip mom- love you and miss you!)
❤️
Miss Donna - haven’t had good homemade fried chicken since my Mom passed in 2006. Tried this tonight, and it was just like hers. Delicious!! Thanks so much!!
John nothing like mama’s cooking I know I sure miss my mama’s cooking I’m so happy you enjoyed the chicken John❤️

Thank you so much Donna….my fried chicken has always been a bit hit or miss & you’ve shown me exactly what I was doing wrong. Greetings to you all from Adelaide In South Australia
Kerry I’m glad to be of some help❤️i you enjoy ❤️
Thank you Donna, First time I've been on your channel and it feels like I am being taught by a friend,. You are down to earth and REAL. Your teaching stye is personal and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you.
Yolanda thank you for your kind words they truly means a lot ❤️
I came across your channel on January 6th 2024, I tried this recipe on Jan 13th 2024, this recipe is fire🔥🔥🔥🔥. The crunch is out of this world. I had to substitute the Lawrys for Morton’s natures seasoning because I didn’t have Lawrys. Please try this recipe Ms. Donna isn’t lying about this chicken!!!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback this makes me so happy you enjoyed!❤️
❤ bless you, your compliment is so kind & loving 🥰 enjoy your day.
THIS CHICKEN WAS BOMB !!!!!!!! The crust resembles SHAKEYS , it’s Very Airy and soooo crispy !!! I’ve Alwasy wanted to learn how to make it and Failed at other Recipies ! This one’s the BEST !!!!! Thank you !!!!!😘😘😘
I’m so happy 😀 Thank you for the wonderful feedback Vivian!❤️
This recipe is an incredible discovery! Your method is effortless and your instructions are clear and unambiguous. It is now our gold standard for fried chicken.
Franco thank you so much for the wonderful feedback this makes me so happy thank you!❤️
I have never had my fried chicken turn out so I’m going to try this! Ty
I made these but I made chicken nuggets instead. Oh my goodness! They turned out perfect! I have tried every crispy but not too crispy chicken recipe on utube and yours was the best! I can’t thank you enough! My husband is thrilled. They are that good on any type chicken.
I hope you enjoy Caroline!❤️
That looks absolutely delicious, I look forward to trying! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
I truly hope you enjoy Dewey!❤️
Donna I've been doing fried chicken, wings, you name it for years...but this looks hands down delicious!!! I can't wait to try this. Thank you for sharing!
I truly hope you enjoy ❤️
Miss Donna thank you very much. I'm 64 and my sister was 23 yrs older then me, she was a very good cook also. And I miss her homemade cooking and fried chicken that look so good wanted to jump in the phone. Thanks
❤️
Wow, that looks absolutely amazing. Going to have to try that and will update the post when I do. Thanks so much for sharing this delicious looking recipe.
I truly hope you enjoy Wally❤️
I absolutely love fried chicken and even though I’ve been cooking, not professionally for many years, I don’t believe I’m a slouch in the kitchen, I just love good food, I’ve tried like every recipe I’ve found on the internet I’ve yet to make one that completely wowed me, I can get it to look like great fried chicken it’s always missing something, this recipe is next on my list!
Fingers crossed I hope you enjoy with good results ❤️
That describes me to a “T” also. Additionally in numerous recipes although the coating looks good and has good crunch it tends to fall off in chunks when I bite in. This seems common with the traditional buttermilk and whole egg recipes and especially Asian type recipes that use a lot of corn starch with the flour. This is the first recipe I’ve seen that uses egg whites and water in the batter which makes sense to me. As for flavor - at first I didn’t use nearly enough seasoning. You need more than you think initially and this recipe seems to hit the bullseye. The marinating step also helps a lot. I’m going to give it a go.
Can’t wait to try this! Love watching and listening to your videos!! Blessings!
Thank you so much for watching I truly hope you enjoy ❤️
Yum looks like Popeyes! That baking powder and egg white water mixture did the trick 👏🏾
❤️
This chicken looks soooooo good!! You have made this look so easy thank you for the video. I will be trying this recipe this week.
Larry I truly hope you enjoy!❤️
Looks absolutely delicious, great job Donna.
Thank you Misti!❤️
Probably one of the best videos ever!! You explain everything perfectly!
Thank you so much!❤️
I can't wait to try this recipe. My past salt water brines have not been too successful. It is the reason I switched to buttermilk instead. You earned a new sub!
Thank you so much I truly hope you enjoy!!❤️
Thanks Donna! This looks like a great recipe for fried chicken, and I'll definitely give it a try!
Joey I truly hope you enjoy and thank you so much!❤️
I am so glad that I stumbled upon your channel! Thank you Miss Donna for this recipe. Can’t wait to make it 🙂
Amysm7 I truly hope you enjoy and so glad you stumbled upon my channel ❤️
My God!!! 😳😳 I have literally tried dozens of recipes from America, China and Korea. Your method is King. I got the prefect swirly, flaky, crispy, chicken I have ever made. My wife took the first bite and her eyes went👀 WOW! Your southern draw made me say 🤔this woman might know what she's talking about. I'm so glad I made it, and eating it right now. Take it from a brother, this chicken is FIRE!
Robbie you just made my day!❤️
i’m so happy you and your wife enjoyed❤️❤️
@@CookingWithDonna You are the end of a 2 year search so you really my day.
I’m honored Robbie thank you for the wonderful feedback. You and your wife Have a wonderful night.❤️
OMG! That looks sooo delish!🤤 I'm definitely gonna try this recipe! Your recipes are always great and I love your channel! 🥰
Thank you so much Stacy your truly appreciated ❤️
Try it. I did and it was awesome!
Trying this! I’m 63, and although I am a fairly good cook and can fry the HECK out of chicken strips or venison, I struggle with bone-in chicken. I’m not new to brining chicken, but always have done it for whole roasted chicken. I will be trying this soon.
Leslie I truly hope you enjoy and I wish you luck❤️
This is the best video i have seen.. Thanks Donna for your time you out into it.. im also sold on brining . Even for just grilling..
Thank you so much!❤️
Very well explained and appreciate you sharing this recipe. Savor the flavor and smile a mile ....Thank you Donna !
Thank you so much!❤️
I am going to try this. I see many, many, many TH-cam videos that have the chicken look like yours, but they must be going to KFC and buying chicken for their photos for their videos. When they go through their recipe and show themselves actually frying it, it always comes out burnt looking, or the batter is brown but smooth. Yours on the other hand, is something I have been trying to achieve for years and have failed miserably. I just watched you season, batter, and cook the chicken and I swear it looks just like KFC. Amazing, I mean amazing! To be honest, I told my wife I would be willing to go work at KFC just to learn how they do it. Now I don’t have too. Thank you, I did subscribe and liked. What else you got?
Mark thank you so so much for the wonderful comment truly appreciate it and I truly hope you have good results with the chicken it really is a some good chicken I so hope you enjoy it and thank you for watching and subscribing I truly appreciate it❤️
I made this recipe last night and I had hopes that this would be the recipe I could finally say, "This is the one". I followed all your directions and it was the one. Best Fried Chicken recipe on the web. I think I could have used "Drain oil" and it still would have been "Fantastic". Thank you!
This makes me so happy! so glad you enjoyed ❤️
Amazing tutorial Ms.Donna, thank you for sharing this great recipe🙏
Thank you so much Johnnie❤️
Thank you! I will try this recipe this week. Can't wait!!
I truly hope you enjoy ❤️
Oh my word, your chicken looks so delicious & amazing. I have never been able to make fried chicken look that good. I can hardly wait to try your recipe. Thank you so much.
Hope you have fantastic results and enjoy!❤️
i have been watching lots of fried chicken recipes on youtube and all of them have this very thick, cakey breading that looks nothing like those that are available in those well known fried chicken joints. this one here have a beatiful crispy crust that i am very familiar with when eating out at some well known fried chicken joints.will definitely be trying your recipe.thank you.
I truly hope you enjoy❤️
I have watched now a lot of people cooking. Most people are to loud or to mutch in your face ...
But your energy is so enjoyable thank you for the lesson
Thank you I truly appreciate it❤️
Thank you Donna! This is the the most beautiful fried chicken I have ever seen demonstrated. I will definitely follow your instruction and try your recipe.
Thank you so much!❤️

You said it right there when you said you wash the chicken first. I knew right away you know what you're doing. I'm a rigid believer that you ALWAYS WASH YOUR CHICKEN FIRST.
I cannot stress that enough
Excellent video
Absolutely and thank you so much❤️
Thank you for sharing this great recipe. You do such a great job explaining the whole process. God Bless You!!!

Your so kind thank you so much and I truly hope you enjoy the chicken ❤️
Miss Donna, I really really enjoyed your recipe. If it wasn't for the fact that I got full, I would still be eating that delicious fried chicken. IMO, your recipe is the top 3 American/Southern fried chicken recipes on the entire TH-cam. I promise you this recipe will be in heavy rotation at my house. I fried thighs and legs but imma include some wings next time. TFS this wonderful recipe sweetie😋😋😋💖💖💖👍👍👍👌👌👌😍😍😍
YouDontSay my heart is so happy❤️😊 I am so glad you enjoyed your kind words makes it all worth it thank you so much!❤️

Good old country cooking!
Buttermilk provides acidity to soften the chicken, if you want alternatives, consider lemon or lime juice (or apple cider vinegar) but check your Ph level.
We use celery & onion seasoning as well.
Another tip is to swirl the chicken in the oil for just a second before letting go (just like deep frying battered fish) this prevents it from sticking to the pot.
❤️
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
I made it. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! THANK YOU so much for that delicious chicken recipe.
