NOTE: At 4:55, I meant to say "baking powder" not "baking soda". Baking powder is the correct ingredient - apologies for the confusion.
doesn't salt DRAW moisture OUT??? I am genuinely confused.
@@chrismeyers1607 The salt first draws moisture out, but it eventually gets reabsorbed (it takes about 45-60 minutes for the water to be fully absorbed). I explained all of that in more detail in this video: th-cam.com/video/xs1MC-xmEm0/w-d-xo.html.
I'm confused. Is it baking powder or baking soda?
you should give rice flour a whirl, I'd like to see the differences between the alternative starches.
@@watermain48 baking powder
Tip: buy one of those $5 permanent coffee filters at the grocery store to filter your oil. Why waste money on cheesecloth and deal with the mess? The coffee filter has a much finer screen and lasts forever. Perfect for your bacon grease also.
I do this exact same thing. I have two. It works great.
Excellent idea, I have oneofthem here somewhere.....they suck using as coffee filters
I been looking for a fried oil strainer remedy, this is It!! Thank you!!
Nice
If you’re gonna do that the disposable ones like 100-200 coffee filter packs are better. No mess cleanup. And it lasts forever. Avging deep frying shit like once a week. You’re only using like 4-5 a month.
After learning to cook a lot of Japanese dishes I highly recommend potato starch. It stays crispy even when it’s being covered in broth for the final stage.
I just wish I enjoyed cooking. I'd rather have someone else make the food for me. For example, restaurants can make better sandwiches than I can make at home. I went to a Vietnamese restaurant and they had jalapeno shrimp and my God it was so delicious. My mouth was on fire, but it was too good for me to care about my tongue dying.
@@lunarcorpse you should try. I find just the opposite. I cook much better food than I get out most of the time and you can also adjust better to your tastes.
That is what I use in my Karaage..
@@GohAhweh I love that. My favorite is Agadashi Tofu. When I moved I couldn’t find a Japanese restaurant that served it anywhere so that started my deep dive into that cuisine
@@juliey196 agedashi is addictive.. The real Skill in making that dish is being able to use the softest tofu and still have it come out great..
One more tip:
The sludgey stuff that settles at the bottom of the pot is referred to as crackle. Apparently it's what the original KFC gravy recipe used for its roux component. I've tried it before as a thickener and the amount of flavor you get is INSANE.
That's an ingredient in gravy in general lol
I didn't know about that and I'll probably use this when I get the chance
I couldn't stand my Grandma's gravy and now I know why!
@@dm7744 what's the general ingredient in gravy, for people new to cooking, please? What pot iz Zanpaznarf is talking about? I see many pots there?
@@narniadan flour & grease from the seasonings, if ur making it from scratch.
Its the buttermilk that aborbs into the flour that makes it turn dark or burn. I have tried it. You dont need to use buttermilk. I use egg whites and club soda, keep my a.p flour light with no red seasonings ( another reason why it turns dark) and my chicken coating never burns or turns dark. Comes out looking like jolliebee's or Popeyes. You can use red seasonings and sprinkle on after cooking if you want.
"Flour and starch" is pretty much a description of cake flour. I've been using it for years to bread chicken with very good results.
My mother used to make the best fried chicken. My friends used to get excited when she would cook it. Finally when I had my own kids I asked her what was her secret. Her answer:
Bisquick!
@@user-ce6ow7ms4iwhat’s that ?
fried chicken is a hobby in itself. My technique is basically the same as yours . I would add swans down cake flour for less gluten potential. baking powder for sure. 50 /50 corn starch flour mix. and I fry in tallow for a more buttery flavor. also let the meat sit in a baking soda water mix for 30 minutes. less for tenderloins. Rinse thoroughly. then prepare for frying. egg whites in the batter make a super crunchy coating also.
Lots to know, its a journey
Absolutely, there are so many different ways to do it! Those are all great tips, I'll definitely have to give them a try. I think you're right that a 50/50 mix of flour and starch might be better. But of course it also depends on how large the cut that you're frying is, and there's definitely some personal preference involved too.
Getting called out at 5:06 hahaha. I am a vegetarian and I just enjoy your videos so that's why I am watching. Used to use almost this exact technique for making fried chicken at home when I did eat meat though... and I have to say, it really is a great method and makes for some bomb fried chicken. (try fried chicken sandwich with bulldog fruit and vegetable sauce, Japanese mayonnaise, and cabbage it was my favorite and I served it at my first pop up)
But! you can also fry mushrooms (lions mane top tier), previously frozen pressed tofu, tempeh, or seitan with similar techniques. So many vegan/vegetarian recipes don't use good technique at all and could learn a thing or two from this video.
P.S. tried a variation of your pizza recipe last night on a baking steel for the first time last night and it was an absolute game changer. Thanks.
P.P.S I left a comment on your recipe post, I think, but I don't understand why you do a cold proof instead of a cold bulk ferment on your pizza dough. Is there any good reason for the initial rise before putting the dough in the fridge?
Haha well I'm glad to hear it! I'll have to try this method with some vegetarian recipes as well.
And I'm glad the pizza worked out well for you! I did actually try a cold bulk ferment at one point, but for some reason the results weren't nearly as good. It resulted in a weaker and less airy dough, so it seems like the room temp bulk ferment is necessary to let the yeast build up some activity, and I guess it must help strengthen the gluten network more effectively as well.
Flavor and dough conditioning
This looks REALLY promising. You seem to like your chicken the way I like it, and while I already have learned to do some of the steps you take, like brining the chicken before cooking it, you have discovered some hacks for the coating that I've not come across until now. I've bookmarked it for when I have my next deep fried food craze. Thanks!
This is a precious masterclass, from scratch all the way to discarding used oil in a responsible way. Well done!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel for anything cooking related (which is mostly what I watch). Love the pace of your videos, and how informative they are! Thanks for the solid content!
I appreciate that, I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
It's quite good.
Now I know I can trust you, I do the EXACT same thing even down to using 50/50 for sauces fried chicken and a 25/75 for plain fried chicken. The most important tricks to great fried chicken are that flour to starch ratio and the use of baking soda or baking powder and double frying, which gives you a LONG lasting crunch and helps thoroughly cook those bigger pieces with out over cooking the outside. Also double frying is a must if u are frying a lot of chicken for a family or party it allows you to get the bulk of the work done a little ahead of time and it makes the final frying go supper quick and in larger batches. So everyone can eat hot fried crispy chicken.
Haha, I'm vegan and watch these kinds of videos because a lot of it is still useful for frying mushrooms, tofu, cauliflower etc. I actually do pretty much everything you mention in this video, so glad to know I'm on the right path. I kinda want to try that weird oil solidifier thing. I usually just pour it into a trash bag once it cools down but that looks like more fun.
Strange seeing you here Dude
I do the same thing!
Hey, I’ve actually seen a few of your videos too and really enjoyed them! Even though I’m not vegan haha. Good to know that these ideas still apply for most vegetables too though!
I'm watching this because I'm workshopping a fried tempeh sandwich recipe!
Listen, I watch your videos but you need to understand that oil that has been used once or twice for trying ends up making BETTER and CRISPIER food. This is scientifically proven. Google around.
Same! 😊
I just made chicken sandwiches using this recipe for lunch. Unbelievably good! Keep doing what you’re doing - it’s great work!
I’m glad to hear that! Thanks!!
By far the most helpful fried chicken video I've seen. Game changer. I like to also add pork rinds to my flour mixture. Your tips were SUPER helpful. First time I'm so proud of my results for a crispy fried chicken sandwich :D
This is a huge boost to my fried chicken game!! You're doing us a huge service
Yes. Especially if you forgot to buy buttermilk and most KFC recipes mention it.
I haven't made fried chicken in a couple years. I followed your method to fry up some tenders with my spice seasoning of choice..."amazing" is an understatement. Perfectly cooked, juicy, lots of crispy/craggy bits, and so flavorful. Thanks for all your hard work, this will definitely be my method from now on.
That’s awesome to hear!! Yeah it’s pretty amazing how big of a difference all of these tips can make when you put them together.
Congrats on the sponsor Charlie! Great to see brands reaching out to you dude
Thanks Andrew, I really appreciate that!
I had figured out baking powder hack by myself reassuring to see others use it too. For a quicker frying, just dip the chicken in wet batter and straight into the frying pan for 8 to 10 mins until cooked at high temp. Never fry large pieces just cut them to small equal sizes. Adding large amounts of tumeric tastes good to me and I think it adds to better colour too.
I hope you do all the trial and error tips and tricks snd become the definitive “go to” channel that just nails what people want. Kenji does a lot of good things like this, but seeing you try multiple ways and come out with what I wanted…well it’s less frustrating and less time consuming. Seeing 5-10 recipes all claiming to have the technique, yet none do is just maddening at times. And some cooking channels do all the steps but then cut to a finished version that isn’t the same.
Thanks and good luck.
I've been working on many of the exact same techniques you're using, but you've honed in on several things I never heard of before. I'm really anxious to try them out, thanks!
i used to work a chicken restaurant. The one thing that made the chicken very juicy and tender is they would marinate in egg yolk in the freezer all day until it was deep fried. Of course we had to do this daily as the chicken and eggs need to be fresh. the perfect chicken doesnt require too much, just flour (seasoned or not) and some panko if you like, and a little bit of powdered cor starch deep fried at 400 f for 7 minutes. move them around every 2 minutes. I dont remember what oil we used, veg or canola will work fine tho. I used to cook about 10-20 lbs of chicken every shift
@@staydown4bo Wait, are you saying; beat egg yolks, coat chicken with it, freeze it for a day then flour and deep fry? By the way, the "flour" was likely pre-seasoned.
@@bravocharlie639 not frozen, the fridge isnt cold enough to freeze them. Its just so the food wont spoil. Basically, in the morning before we even open, we would prep all the food for the day. Bags of raw chicken breast would be emptied into however many containers we needed, then each container would be filled up with eggwash and placed in the fridge. It probably takes an hour to fry all the chicken in one container before needing to get a new one from the fridge, so by the time 2-3 in the afternoon rolled around the chicken we prepped in the AM would have been marinating in the egg yolk for well over 5 hours. The chicken was always better in the afternoon vs first thing in the morning since it gets to sit in the eggwash longer. we also used unseasoned flower, our seasoning was in the sauces we handmade.
@@bravocharlie639 this is what i noticed. if you beat the eggs really well and let the chicken marinate in the yolk, the flour will literally just bind itself into the chicken skin the second you deep fry it. You wont have that breading thats loose and falling off when you hold it... oh and we didnt do any double coating or any of that stuff. just take out the chicken and give it one good dusting of flour, thats it.
Great video Charlie. I appreciate your meticulous research and excellent explanations. For (deep) frying chicken or fish my standard batter is made of beer, corn starch and salt.
Wow! This is my first time drying at home and this totally worked the first time! So crispy and delicious!!!
That's great to hear, I'm glad it worked out well for you!
Oooo! Great tips!!! Thank you chef! I’ll use this technique tonight! I’m trying a brine first too:)
Damn that crunch at the end is LEGIT
Made this tonight-delish!! I have been struggling making crispy fried chicken, but no longer! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the bit about what to do with the oil after using it for frying!! I’ve always wondered about that - having grown up in a household that didn’t fry anything.
Such a good video homie!
Editing is top tier too
Hey man, I really appreciate that! Didn't think I'd see you here haha
I've got to give credit to my editor, Van, too. He edited the majority of this one!

I used most of these tips when making fried chicken for the first time, it came out amazing. Thanks for the video!
I gave this a try and this was a total hit. I was struggling with my crust burning and the idea to pop it in the oven didn't cross my mind until this video!
That’s awesome, I’m glad you liked it!
Dude you are awesome! I was looking for a recipe where I could get thick breading that sticks to my chicken tenderloins and I've tried 5-6 recipes and yours is the only one that works! Thank you!
Enjoyed and appreciate your attention to details and how it slightly (or greatly) improves the chicken.
Salt, paper, oregano, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder
For 3 cups flour add 1 cup of corn starch, add baking powder 2 tes spoon per pound of flour. (75% flour to 25% corn starc) if Asian style the. 50-50% ratio of flour and corn starch
For small peices 177c
For a little big 163c
For bones pieces
Could've swore I'd already subscribed?!?!?!
My habit of thinking I know how to fry chicken, then being disappointed and swearing I'll look it up on TH-cam, then I don't.
You answered a whole bunch of questions!!!
Thank You
Loved your video! I've been cooking at home for a long time, but I learned more in your video than in 40+ years of cooking! Well done!!
I found this channel recently and you make really good content dude, informative and entertaining, just keep it up,
And I can't wait for the epic conclusion of the NYC style pizza series.
Thank you, I’m glad you like it!
Great video! I'll share one tip I've learned for seasoning: chicken bouillon. I smash a bouillon cube in a mortar and pestle along with fresh pepper corns and salt. I can't prove it, but I'd swear the chicken bouillon is the secret ingredient to KFC breading. Also, I've learned to add a little powdered milk to my breading mixture, as opposed to milk soaking.
msg is most likely kfc’s secret. but i absolutely agree that adding chicken bouillon to fried chicken is amazing
@@sapph4324is msg not bad?
i found your channel a while ago with the new york pizza series. and you are underated for sure, i love your editing and your videos they are insane. waiting for the final OF THE NEW YORK PIZZA!
I really appreciate that! I have to give credit to my editor, Van too! He edited the majority of this video and the last one.
The next NY Pizza video is in the works! I'm planning to release it in about 2 weeks, I just wanted to finalize a few details with the recipe.
@@CharlieAndersonCooking Can't wait! I'm going to order a pizza steel in advance to try it out as soon as the video comes out :) My pizza stone doesn't seem to bring the results I'd like in a 250c oven
Fantastic information. I did some but not all in the past, looking forward to experimenting moving forward!
one of the best fried chicken method, neatly covered every craggy bits of information. Thank you!
I really appreciate the fact that you seasoned the chicken directly.
So often when I see people make fried chicken they put a very little seasoning on the actual chicken itself and they just rely on everything going into the flour and that just isn't right.
Yeah it makes a huge difference! You want it to be seasoned all the way through, not just on the outside
@@CharlieAndersonCooking agreed.
The other thing is if you over season the flour it burns a whole lot easier especially if you use seasonings like paprika.
I like a little bit in my breading but I put 95% of the seasoning directly on the bird.
I think this channel has doubled in size since a few months ago. Keep it up Charlie! Good video
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
As a southerner who loves fried chicken, this sounds incredible. Great video!
We have a gluten free kitchen for a celiac child and can say gluten free flour gets real crispy. Adding starch to the regular flour is a great tip for those who can eat wheat flour. I will be trying your method sans gluten this week.
Love the tip about baking powder. Few people know about how crucial it is to adding crispiness to fried chicken
Just made this. SUPER GOOD. It was hard to get the crispy coating cooked perfect though, as the chicken wasn't ready yet. Some pieces I did the oven trick... put them on a wire rack though because if you put it straight on the pan it comes out like mushy shake'n bake.
Just discovered your channel and man I must say you rock! Always been a fan of salting ahead of time ever since I read about it with Kenji Lopez Alt, which I mention in my recipes as "dry brining". I'm glad to know another cook who also does technique based cooking like you do! I'm more active in Facebook though, but I"ll definitely watch out for more of your content here! Cheers and more power!
i love this video aesthetic, something i missed sorely in ethan's videos, keep it up, you've earned an instant subscriber
Absolutely awesome work! Thanks for the detailed explanation and sharing your experience/expertise
Thank you for this video! I’ve had similar issues searching for the perfect fry. This may solve my dilemma!!
I'm glad to hear that! I definitely think you'll like it if you give it a try.
I can't wait to try this! Thank you Charlie!
Looks good, will give it a try! I just hope my hot plate can bring the temp up enough
My Mom had a deep fryer. She would use egg wash and corn flakes crushed up with salt and pepper. Best fried chicken ever and home fries. Boy do I miss her cooking.
Thank you for explaining why and how each step and ingredient do what they do.
I have learned 5 new steps I never heard before. Very surprised and glad to learn, thanks.
You sir are to be commended! A very fine educational video. Please keep up the good work!
I made this fried chicken tonight-delicious! Thank you so much for enlightening me!!
Hello, I followed your recipe for dinner tonight. The wife and I loved it. Well done you.
Thanks for the tips!
Tried tapioca starch today from the asian store for the dredge-- breading was VERY delicate & yummy!
Too delicate? Did it fall off easily?
Another great video!!! Congrats on the sponsor!!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Charlie, an excellent video packed with great information. Great job. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
The video I needed. Perfect with the explanation. Perfect!
Adding a bit of your liquid batter to the big bowl of dry breading/flour has really become a game changer for me. Getting a few of those much bigger clumps in the breading really is a huge improvement. I use this little trick for all my breadings now. Thanks for cluing me in. :)
Really dig your channel and have subscribed.
Great video! You are using some of the things I learned from my grandmother!
I'm definitely saving this video for later. Thank you 😊🙏🏽
Thank you! At 2:16 We tried to make rice flour and sometimes a pounded rice with mortar & pestle because it was easiest to find for us in Thailand(The Rice flour were grown "traditionally year round", which could be organic rice.), and we ended up having similar results with fried fish.

I very much enjoyed your tutorial. Highly informative, well presented and gives me hope for better fried chicken! Thanks 🙏
Seaching for such a long time for the perfect and very tasty crispy fried chicken...I must just say this is the closets your gonna get to the perfect one .. Its amazing... thank for sharing all directions on how to go about it 🤗🖒
I actually just discovered the resting period between dredging on accident.
I had a minor emergency during the coating process that pulled me away from the chicken.
The rest makes sense to me. The over tip was something I picked up early on in my chicken frying career. Thanks for the tips.
Just getting into frying chicken myself, this is the video I needed.
Fantastic video...I've learned more about frying chicken in 10 minutes than I have my entire life.
You thought of EVERYTHING! I'm saviing your video for generational reference! Thanks!
I learned so much from this video! I've always wondered why I've been unable to fully cook my fried chicken without burning the hell out of my breading. Now I know why. Thank you, Charlie! The one thing I still don't understand is why you determine the ratios of your flour and other dry ingredients based on the weight of chicken your frying rather than their ratios to each other. Can you please explain?
Wow what a nice piece of chicken ... I'm blown away... Thank you so much for all the tips 🤗
Absolute genius, thank you for sharing this!
Me: How crispy do you like your chicken?
Him: Yes
Nice points I never knew! Thanks!!
i love these vids u always teach me how to make great food that i want to make but just dont know how
Great video!👍🏽
Thank you for sharing.
I've been air frying chicken for years and I think your ideas are very good
I have tried a few different recipes concerning fried chicken, I will definitely try this one with the different techniques and see how it goes.
Lower heat helped greatly. Also, to get really tender fried chicken…after slightly browning chicken in oil, roast in oven for about 30 mins, then back in oil to finish off.
thank god i discovered your chanel im gonna learn so much
Going to try your technique for my just like chick fil a fry thank you!!
As a southern person I use flour and finely crushed "gluten free" Chex cereal for the last part not corn starch I think it gives it more of a crispy crunch 🤤😋
I geek out on food too and this is top teir my bro.
Great job!!
(And thanks heaps🤙✌️)
Amazing video, my taste buds will now profit from your work. Thank You.
I reduced the flour I use in my breading to less than my seasoning and I use a heroic amount of onion powder. It's not super crispy but it doesn't burn as easily and tastes amazing
To answer your question @5:03 I don't eat meat but I've been looking for a way to improve my fried oyster mushrooms and these tips are awesome! I think the only difference is I'll puncture them with a tenderizer to get the salt and flavors to absorb better in the early process. If I follow your method I'm sure it'll be delicious
How did your mushrooms turn out?
@@wendigos_eat_people7177 Amazing actually. This past weekend was my second try. The first one was good but the second try came out perfect. Super crunchy and flavorful. My family tore though it. This video was a perfect guide
@@johndorlean1133 Oh good ! I'll have to try it too.😀
Hi Charlie, I am vegetarian but enjoy yours and other meat TH-cam videos because I get ideas on how to flavour veges and grains in my cooking, I make a really good tofu fried dish, like your fried chicken, also oat patties etc, with a breading coat to fry with uneven surface and turn out crispy and flavourful, watching yours and other videos steered me in that direction and and very thankful for your advice. Snookums 😀😋🙏
Tried this today and when doing the first batch I didn't add enough of the flour mix to the butter milk. I upped it in the second batch and the difference was night and day in terms of crunch.
Great recipe.
5:06 Club!!!! I can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks for the knowledge.
I loved this video especially the humor & your cute pooch. I am going to subscribe to Butcher Box. Can't wait!! Thanks Charlie.
I want to thank you.
We have achieved craggy bits!
I appreciate you doing the work to figure this out.
Wow. That’s soooo good to know. I don’t buy buttermilk regularly, so I am not inclined to buy it at the store. Therefore, I don’t have it on hand. So I’m really glad to know that you don’t have to have it on hand to make really good fried chicken. And such a great tip on butcher box!!!
I couldn't resist 3lbs of wings and supporting your channel - ended up ordering a Butcher Box.
Hey Matthew, I really appreciate that! The free wings are great deal!
This was awesome. Tried this method but used an air fryer. Super crunchy. The buttermilk made the crust look all scone like but still good. Maybe need less flour drege as there were bits of uncooked flour. All in all a success.
Yep! You've fixed all those issues 👏😃 I've followed your recipe instructions and turned out superb. No only enough crispy but also tasty - spices and buttermilk not overpowering, still excellent chicken taste. Actually, I've followed 3 different recipes 1) chicken rested in buttermilk 2) spice mixture. Your recipe has given the best result. Thank you so much. I really appreciate. P.S. I didn't use MSG. It's one of the reasons I don't eat Far East Asian Food. Also, It's the same reason I wanted make the fried chicken at home. I get sick sick from MSG or some other added lab made chemicals so omitted the MSG. It still turned out delicious. Doesn't need MSG. As you've mentioned, (needs) a good quality chicken (that had a happy life).
I did use type of tapioca flour ,chick pea flours, and others to give a different taste and did like hazelnut flour. It gives butter taste .
I love that you put pron music for the video, well for some of it it was good pron.
