- We've had a lot of request for a classic southern fried chicken recipe. We're showing you how to get a homemade- from scratch- fried chicken recipe start to finish!
Also great with our homemade gravy using the chicken drippings: • How to Make Creamy Whi...
Classic Fried Chicken Recipe
3.5 - 4 lb. whole chicken
2 1/4 cups butternilk
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup cornstarch
2 ½ tablespoons Red River Ranch Original Seasoning (kentrollins.com) or seasoned salt/favorite all-purpose seasoning
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon celery salt
2 teaspoons white pepper
Fry oil
-Cut the chicken up (as shown in video).
-In a large pan pour in the buttermilk and whisk in the baking powder. Add the chicken pieces and turn to generously coat. Cover and chill for at least one hour.
-Remove the chicken from the icebox about 30 minutes before frying and flip each piece over.
-Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the remaining spices.
-Add about 1 1/2 cups of the flour mixture into a plastic bag. Using a pair of tongs, remove a piece of chicken from the buttermilk and allow any excess buttermilk to drip off. Place the chicken in the bag and toss to generously coat. Place on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more flour mixture to the bag, as needed.
-Let the chicken set about 10 minutes before frying.
-Pour about 1-inch deep of oil into a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven (enough for the oil to reach about halfway up the chicken). Heat to 340-350 degrees F. over medium-high heat.
-Add the chicken to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for about 5 to 8 minutes or until a light golden brown. Remove the lid and flip each piece. Continue cooking (with no lid) an additional 5 - 7 minutes, rotating as needed, until golden brown and the internal temperature is 165 degrees. F.
-Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Who else is watching this late at night drooling for this food
Yep that's me
AlphaMail 626 I am and it’s 1:12 A. M.
I need to find a dutch oven, cast iron pan, coffee pot, and several other things.
2:30 am eating a PBJ pretending it is fried chicken gravy and mashed taters
3:19am and I gotta be up in 4 hours, but boy am I hungry
It was not even about the recipe at this point for me. It is more about the values of life Mr.Rollin's shares with us.
Thank you for watching
@@CowboyKentRollins hear you explain things makes me remember my grandpa thank you sir
Well said!
Cowboy Kent, I didn't have anyone to teach me how to cook, I am a Granny now retired and I am learning to cook from you! Thank you 😊❤️
@@CowboyKentRollins I saw something very recently, in all this craziness, "don't panic, pray," and I thought about you. My parents, nephew, brother, and I sat down Saturday night to dinner, prayed, then just ate and fellowshipped. It was just wonderful. Thank you Sir, for spreading the love God has for us, and amazing recipes. Give Beag and Duke an ear scratch from me.
This accent is 90% of the reason why I watch
Accent? He sounds normal to me ;)
The other 10% is authentic cowboy hat.
You should move to Texas or Oklahoma.
I love how patient his dog is and how gentle he is when yo give him some, that sir is a well behaved doggy
He is a good hound for sure
@@CowboyKentRollins you're awesome Kent!! New subscriber here
Beagles are the gentlest dogs.
Their Bigger Dog comes around when the food is done
@@CowboyKentRollins could I cut some bacon drippings that I save in to my cooking oil.?
Love watching Cowboy Kent Rollins. Gentle humor, humility, and great recipes. God bless!
Thanks Jack and God Bless you as well
I hope he's as real as he seems to be on his videos. Sure hope so. If he's real he its the kind of guy that should run this place. Common sense and no BS
He is! I live in Kansas and have friends just like him....they are great!
If you want his 'city cousin', that would be Chef John on Food Wishes.
All that and talking about PRAYER. PRAISE THE LORD!!
Good ol' country fried chicken. I miss Sunday fried chicken, mashed potatoes and grave and corn
It graced our table many a Sunday after church
Can't say I missed graves on Sundays
Grave? Has in some dead stuff and corn?
Raymond Heath hallelujah
Dang sounds good
My grandma and my mama made sure to teach me how to cut up a chicken before age 10! Whole chickens are cheaper than already cut up chicken. The only pans I use are cast iron, it distributes the heat evenly and it just makes everything taste better! My friends complain that the cast iron skillets they use stick, If you season your cast iron right, it will become non-stick. Thank you for sharing your recipes with this old girl from Arkansas!
Thanks so much for taking time to watch
Being new members to your channel makes me reminisce as a child watching country westerns, mirages of the open planes with amber waves of grain flowing in a comforting breeze crossing the farmlands and the vast fields in timeless thoughts of this god given country. Your channel radiates a true example of American values what they once were and preserving them into our future .. Wife and i love your channel..
Thanks for watching
“You got chicken but it ain’t got no legs he can’t cross the road”
Joji Shino he’s the 🐐
You'll make a great stenographer.
That is some mighty fine looking fried chicken.
Thanks Dwayne
mitghty mighty fine
Ok
I’m here for his accent and amazing sense of humour. Love from Egypt
So glad I found this channel! You can't find honest, genuine people, like this on the food network so glad youtube gives a platform to Cowboy kent rollins!
Thanks Stephanie for watching
He would easily have gotten Food Network show before 2005. That was the year Food Network changed from Teaching Cooking to Competetive Cooking.
You can't beat a classic. Southern Fried Chicken is just the best and i was surprised to find recipes from 1823 that i saw on the Townsend 18th Century Cooking. They even had Onion Rings in batter in the 18th Century. Goes to show that great comfort food is here to stay. Great job Kent and Co. Now enjoy. Cheers Moose.
Thanks Moose, hope things are well
Every day's a blessed day Down Under Mate. Cheers Moose.
Even mac and cheese is an ancient food, Originated in Switzerland of all places. lol
I saw that same video it was awesome. Good food never goes out of style we just forget about some until its shown to us.
I've made Townsend's 1736 fried chicken recipe - not bad.
My Momma never used a therma-tomater... guess that explains why we all didn't always feel too good after her cookin' ! Thanks Kent and Shannon!!
Thank you for watching
Perhaps it was just so good that you ate way to much 😊 My mom didn't use one either.
My grandmother wouldn't know what to do with one. Best fried chicken, eggs, crab cakes, oysters, fried crabs, fish, gizzards, pork and lamb chops, even chitlins. She'd even fry me a steak when I asked.
Got to be politically correct now days. You know someone somewhere watching this would raise a stink somewhere. Safety first.
*"T H E R M A T O M E T E R"*
My Gramma used the back to make stock for making dumpling. Whoooo weeeee the dumplin's were sooooo gooooood.
Comfort food at its best
America would be a better place with a few more people like you and your Wife. Love following your channel!!! Don't stop doing what you're doing!!!
Thanks Kenneth
Sir, I would like to comment that you seem to me to be a fine upstanding good man. Your voice has a genuine gentleness of a true country gentleman. I salute you for being a fine human being. Cheers!
Nothing like procrastinating on work by watch Kent Rollins videos. You seem like a lot of fun to hang out with!
My grandma always fried chicken just like that, but I never saw her use a meat thermometer, she made some of the best fried chicken I've ever eaten, along with fried taters & onions fresh green beans from the garden and a big ole sliced red tomato, watching you cook reminds me of the good ole days eating grandmas cooking, Thanks For The Memories and Keep Them Videos Coming 👍🏻
They knew cooking and what to cook
It took me a decade of frying chicken to learn how important a lid is. I had to finish my chicken in the oven before that. You have some great stuff here sir
Thanks Brad for watching
When I was growing up, my Mom always tried to make fried chicken as good as my Grandmother. Using the same recipe and copying everything she did, except for the cast iron pan my Grandmother used. It made all the difference. I have it today and only fry with it. Thanks for your video.
Thanks Tom, that old cast iron does make a difference
So happy to see an Okie, like me, bringing back good home cooking with God fearing values! Everyone today is so quick to buy boxed meals and frozen food, or even worse eat fast food! Sure a good home cooked meal takes a little time, but I promise your family will love it more! Keep these good vids a coming!
Thanks Jerry and God bless you as well
My grandma always fried her chicken in cast-iron and it was crisp , and tender and good eaten!
Thank you for the gentle reminder to ask our Lord’s blessing on the gift of daily nourishment. And bless the hands that made it.
Reminds me of Sunday fried chicken dinner at Grandma’s. Just need to add pecan pie fresh from pecan tree in backyard. Thanks
Now your making me hungry
My grandpa would fight you for the fried back. If it did not make in into the frying pan there was hell to pay. My grandma used the back to cover the liver while it fried, since it popped and splashed out grease while it cooked. Thanks Kent.
I watch Bobby Flay and Gordon Ramsay and all the others but I enjoy this guy just as much.
Seeing these videos brings back fond memories of watching Justin Wilson on PBS in the 80s
I miss him I do, thanks for watching
I love your tips, like the lid and the idea of covering the surfaces nearby to avoid splatter. Smart, practical additions to the usual fried-chicken tutorials. Bravo.
Thanks David
Just been watching random cooking videos, and none of them has made me feel as good and at home as this one, Kent. My thanks. Happy Thanksgiving to anyone who bumps into this comment in 2020! :)
My grandmother used to make this for Sunday supper! Mashed potatoes, gravy, pot of beans and homemade biscuits! I miss her cooking!
The Shake and Bake commercial went like this. Family sitting at the dinner table eating Shake and Bake chicken. Father says to family, “hmm hmmm, this sure is good fried chicken.” To which the little girls says, in a southern accent, “it’s not fried, it’s Shake and Bake and I helped” (approx 1968 commercial) I remember that commercial like it was yesterday.
Yall are so wholesome, I just discovered y'alls channel today. I was real stressed out and my anxiety was kicking my butt, but yall have got me feeling much better, quality content!
Glad we could help and thanks for watching
Man that looks so good. Reminds me of a restaurant in Tulsa called the Golden Drumstick, closed long ago. That was their specialty, and they pushed the idea of putting honey on your fried chicken. They brought homemade honey to the table and gave you cloth napkins and a dish of warm water to clean your hands with. To this day I love fried chicken with honey on it, and a little Louisiana hot sauce on a bite now and then. The hot, sweet, and acidic vinegar flavors really makes fried chicken good.
Omg !!!!
Homemade honey? Bees make honey.
Ooh that sounds so good
I'm more of a maple syrup on fried chicken person, but that's because I like chicken and waffles.
Clint my son and I are making the fried chicken and gravy. We love you Clint and Shannon!
This reminds me so much of Sunday Chicken dinner at Great Grandmother's house.50 plus years later I can still taste it,it was that good!Thanks Kent and Shannon for these great videos. It shows that honesty, hard work ,and just plain old common decency are still prevalent in 2020.
Wow, thank you so much. You brought back fond memories of my Grandmother Hollis, from Oklahoma. She'd grab two large skellets, and I knew it was chicken finger lickin' dinner night. I don't know what all she seasoned it with, but it was the best I ever did eat. She always used lard and later in years it was Crisco. Man do I miss her. Wish I could come visit with you all. GOD BLESS = glad to hear you pray. Special bonus
Thanks so much to the both of you and may God continue to bless you and yours
So appreciate that
I've been following your channel for about a month now and it's my favorite. I have always had a problem with fried chicken. You know, burnt on the outside and raw in the middle. I cooked it in my 10 inch dutch oven about 8 minutes each side and that was the best that I have ever made. I'm going to make the shepards pie and chicken and dumplings next. Two thumbs up. 👍👍
So glad you enjoyed Robert and Thank you for watching
Dear heavenly father. Thank you for creating Cowboy Kent Rollins and his wife Shannon. Thank you for giving then the desire to make these videos I enjoy so much. Amen
Thanks for watching Patrick and we are honored you watch, God bless you
I have my Mom's Wagner cast skillet with drip-top lid circa 1938. I remember watching her use it to fry chicken but did NOT know the specific's UNTIL this vid! Thank-you Ken you reconnected me with a happy memory.
Thanks for watching
"You jumped on that like a chicken on a junebug" This guys is a mans man! God bless you sir!
God bless you as well
Nothing beats the sound of something chicken frying in the skillet!!!
It is a comfy sound it is
I would like to thank you for all of your videos. You are by far the best out there! God bless you and yours!!!
Thanks for watching and God bless you
Kent you are what America needs.
Awesome prayer Kent! I'm glad ur my brother in Christ Jesus! And thank you for sharing all ur wonderful recipes with us!
Thank you Tami for watching and God bless you as well
I’m in mountains of central Mexico
I want to cook like you for my friends
Who feed me!!!!
You are the best! I ought to
Know being from southwest
Louisiana.... you my new
Hero!!!
Thanks for watching
Nothing better than natural and country food. Thanks, 🤤
I'm not sure which I enjoy more Mr Rollins, your cooking or one liners "we got a chicken with no legs, he can't cross the road.". Lol love it. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks for watching Damion and have a great day
@@CowboyKentRollinsthank you for sir. hope you all have a great day too.
I cook exclusively with cast iron. It makes me happy to see that someone else uses a bigger pan as a lid.
I just bought a lid for my Kent Rollins sanded and seasoned Lodge skillet. This video came to mind as soon as I saw the lid and I knew I had to have it.
My grandma always made great Fried yard bird, and no ones come along since. I guess its up to me, this video will save the day. God Bless!
God bless you
Just watching this you get the good ole' at home feeling! I also love the "God Bless You" and the mention of the blessing at the end of each video. I think we have a new food network host, wouldn't you all agree???
Thank you Joseph for watching and God bless you
Me and my wife had this tonight with mashed taters
and broccoli, it was wonderful, we are both stuffed, thank
you Kent and Shannon for all you do.
Glad yall enjoyed
You all have become my favorite channel to watch! Thank you for the awesome recipes and the awesome entertainment!
Thank you Brian for taking time to watch
I made my first cast-iron skillet fried chicken tonight. I combined this video with his chicken fried steak video. Instead of doing the shake and bake style coating, that's where I switched over to the chicken fried steak recipe for the dipping/breading mix and technique. Then back to this video for the skillet cooking technique. I'm breaking in a new Field cast iron skillet so I didn't want to deep fry. Man it sure turned out good. Juicy, tender, crunchy, great flavor. You'll never go back to KFC, Popeyes, Churchs, etc. once you've had it. Using his original seasoning in the dry mix, and his mesquite seasoning in the wet mix, you got some seriously good flavor going on there. I like my chicken spicy so I put generous shake of cayenne in the wet mix too. Double baptize, you get a nice crunchy crust that doesn't come off. Seasons the skillet nicely too. As always thanks for making cooking fun again!
So glad you enjoyed Rich and Thanks for watching
I have watched this earlier Cowboy Kent but I never tire of this one. Years ago Mom and my Grandmother fried it this way. You are the best!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Jon for watching
these gentlemen makes me remember my grandpa😢
Thanks Jose for watching
You're killing me, you know that. Mercy.
Thanks Lewie for watching
That'll work and God Bless YOU!

"Kent rolllins uploaded another video, fuck you expect?"
Mr. Kent Rollins, just wanted to say you are one of my favorite outdoor/cooking channels. I hope you n your family continue to be blessed. Thank you for what you do sir.
I inherited my grandmother's 1930s vintage Lodge chicken frier!
She made the world's best friend chicken!
I've been meaning to get it out and strip the old rancid seasoning off and reseason it and put it to work!
Now, I've got an excuse to do it.
Now that is a treasure, thanks for watching
Any tips for reasoning the inside of the lid with those drippy things on it? I definitely want a good coat of seasoning on it.
I actually love the bony back when it’s fried..
Like my momma 👌
Yes !
(9:42) “Therma-tomma-ters.” Love it!!!!
I learned how to fry chicken watching Mee Maw (thats what we called her) in the kitchen when I was a little boy. The closest smell to being in heaven, I think. Mee Maw was from Oklahoma and she fried it just like you sir! The only thing I think would make this chicken any better is to kill it that day, and fry it in bacon grease or lard. But I have not learned how to pluck a chicken yet! Thanks for sharing sir, you bring back some memories of my childhood. Thank you again sir.
Thank you Steven for watching and for sharing
I cannot stop watching this wholesome man
Thanks for taking time to do so
I should’ve eaten before I watched this. looks so good I’m drooling and grumbling.
My mouth is watering. You two are the best. Keep up the great work. God bless
Thanks Tanya and God Bless you as well

Don't care for tech. Adios.
Thanks Tony and so sorry for your loss
Hey y’all. My daddy is from Corbin Kentucky. The birthplace of Kentucky fried chicken. He even knew the colonel. Momma is from one county over. She taught me how to make delicious fried chicken. And my amazing husband grew up in the panhandle of Oklahoma. They mostly raised hogs but they had chickens too. The Cowboy has it down pat. 🤗🤗. Shared to Facebook.
Thanks Nancy
Of all the things you cook this fried chicken is one of the best if just ate a huge meal you will be hungry again
You need a tv show. I love watching these. I learn a lot. Very entertaining too. Food Network needs a down to earth feller on there frying stuff and making some down home fixins.
Thanks Randy and email them and tell them that we need all the help we can get
Here in Saudi Arabia we eat the fried chicken with Arabic bread and white garlic sauce , it tastes really good!
My mom used to shake the chicken in an old paper grocery sack with the flour inside and of course used a cast iron skillet thanks for a great show
Yep seen my mother use grocery sack many times
I wish I had more neighbors like ol Kent rollins
Just 'zactly like Grandma taught me. Making me hungry!!
Thanks for watching
Yes I have cut up a whole chicken most of my adult life. And you do it the same way I do. Your chicken looks delicious! I appreciate your patriotism and loving our flag and God. God bless you!
Thanks for watching and God bless you
Looking for Fried Chicken recipes for Thanksgiving. This may be the "Winner! Winner!"
I'm so hungry watching this. Sounds so yummy! Nothing beats a well done chicken dinner.
A 45mph wind will blow a welders arc out, much less to cook in!
Good recipe…
Did you all hear that big thud sound ? That was my head hitting the screen as I tried to jump through it to get to the kitchen. Dang that looks soooo good ! This is on the menu for next week. I already did the scrambled eggs this morning. They turned out great. Thank you Mr. Rollins.
I tried this recipe today, although I didn't have celerly salt I used celerly seed and added a teaspoon of ground mustard. The family loved it! Can't wait to make it again!
"You got a chicken with no legs, he can't cross the road" lol
Really love the way you talk, and the chicken looks fantastic!!! Love from China🇨🇳
Thank you David for watching
I absolutely love your videos. You make it fun and I cant stop laughing. Really appreciate your content and knowledge. From North Carolina so I love some southern cooking. Thank you. I get alot of slack for using a thermometer to check my meat watching you solidified its purpose.
Thanks for watching
I'm from Louisiana and my grandma makes the best fried chicken i have ever eaten .... She swears by the old wives tale of if you shake ur chicken with the seasoning in a brown paper bag that it makes it taste better... Idk what it is but it's so good
I have done that and my mother did it all the time
Oooooh my goodness lolol I'm saying grace just watching you cook!! Blessings 😇🇺🇸
Thanks and God Bless you as well
That chicken looked so amazing
God bless you and your family, Kent. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and God bless you
Wife made this chicken today, boy it's really good. Family coming over for dinner tomorrow. Thx for sharing
So glad y'all enjoyed and God bless you and yours
Looks good Kent... when shallow frying chicken a lid is very necessary. I must say when cooking chicken this way I do prefer it to soak in buttermilk rather then a brine... Thanks for the video : )
Thanks for watching
I start mine with a rub of pepper, salt, paprika and cayenne. Then into a bath of buttermilk and Frank’s hot sauce for three plus hours. The rest is the same as you do but I fry in peanut oil unless someone is allergic. I think only one out of a hundred people still fry their own chicken these days.
Yep or cut one up
I have a lodge cast iron chicken fryer, I love the deep pan for frying, as I hate the clean up of frying chicken. I love your recipes and look forward to you and Shannon's posts.
Kris Oluich
Yes, sadly that seems the case. The younger generation wouldn't have the first clue as how to dress one out freshly put to sleep I betcha.
Cowboy Kent Rollins...That fried chicken you made Kents Rollins sure looked plumb tasty ! Did ya hafta tease us all by tak'n a second bite though ? My mouth was water'n for that chicken somethin' fierce ! Gonna fry myself up some of your Fried Chicken recipe soon in my Griswald. Thank you and Shannon for your hard work putting out your stellar cook'n tips,cooking it up, recipes, and the funny outtakes ! Really brightens my day watching em ! Wishing you both a very Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow. May God Bless you both and keep on smiling !
Does that franks really make it spicy?
You know it’s chicken done right when it’s finger lickin good! Amazing how many folks like us grew up with fond memories of Sunday fried chicken and family time. What are we doing to pass those kinds of memories on to our youngins?
I won’t forget the time my wife and I were living in Japan. We cooked a turkey for Thanksgiving and invited our Japanese friends over to share in our meal. One of the wives was so astonished with the bird and asked where we ever found a chicken so big? Everyone loved the meal and we enjoyed the company of friends while we were so far from home at the Holiday! 🤠
Thanks Dan for watching
Yes....that chicken tasted soooooo gooooooood.
I am so happy I found this channel, you guys are AWESOME! Love watching from Nova Scotia Canada, bless you both.
Thank you for watching and God bless you as well
I wish you had done this a couple days ago. I made an attempt at classic fried chicken and totally blew it. This looks awesome
Thanks for watching
Cowboy Kent Rollins love you cowboy 😍😘🙂🐕🙋
Don’t give up, try it again. Eventually you’ll get it.
Thank you Cowboy Kent. You're a God send.
I just don't know why but every time I watch you my mouth is watering. Great cook
Thank you for watching
@@CowboyKentRollins you give me new stuff to try on our camp trips thank you
Oh my goodness no Kent. Fry those backs and ribs. Delicious. My two favorite pieces 👍😁 because I eat fried chicken for the crust mostly. I don't like a bunch of meat on my piece. Give me the back, ribs, wings and a couple of bread and butter sandwiches and I'm in hog heaven. LoL 😁
Short backs are the bomb!!
I learned as a boy you cook every piece of that chicken
Oh yeah that crispy fried greasy piece
I love using the LODGE brand cast iron pans. Best pans made . And will last forever.
Thank you Mr. Rollins, just picked up two yard birds today, be making this tonight, with mash potatoes and your gravy recipe.
Hope you enjoy
I like to cook my chicken in lard or bacon fat that I have rendered my self.
I made this tonight.
Like everything you cook came out great.
Thanks for posting it.
