      A half hour is not long enough to appreciably raise the temperature of the chicken. Also, the vast majority of the oil's energy goes into converting water into steam. The difference between fridge and room temperature chicken has a negligible effect on the temperature drop of the oil.

    This is a great introduction to frying food. I have an electric turkey fryer I use to cook chicken. It’s a few gallons so it takes more time to heat up. But more old holds more heat so you don’t get the temp drop. I also like to crank it up to like 350. As soon as it gets to temp drop in the chicken and lower to 325.

    Wow!
    I just wanna share with you all how the way I cook my home made fried chicken.
    The secrets are:
    1st. Make sure the chicken is on room temperature for it to be juicy also. Also there are a lot of ways to make it more juicy.
    2nd, use proper ingredients for the breadings, the secret is of course you know it already, small amount of baking powder to make it crispy.
    3. The type of cooking oil, VERY IMPORTANT, I use COCONUT OIL.
    4. Cook it on a high temperature on the first 1minute. It will immediately crisp your chicken, it will make it a bit golden brown already, then put the flame into medium. Or you can set aside first the chicken after making sure the chicken is already crisp, then put it back when the oil is on medium heat already. 11 to 15minutes depending on it's size, the chicken is already cook.

  • @lcglazer
    @lcglazer 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Supporting comment to his why use a cast iron: its about the amount of weight density of your frying temperature to your food added weight density's temperature.
    If you have a pot of oil at 325F, and you add one piece of chicken thigh at room temperature 70F, that little weight at 70F won't change the greater/heavier amount at 325F.
    But if you throw a bucket of chicken at 70F into this oil, whose weight is sizeable compared to the weight of the pot+oil, you can be sure the temperature will drop a lot.
    And this is why heavy cast iron pots vs light material pots, heated to desired temperature can withstand batches of cold food added at one time. Or get a humongous flimsy pot that can hold a lot more oil, same result - this weight at 325F can fend off a bucket of chicken going in at 70F.

I have eaten fat from sheep's tail too but they are too rich imo, even though I like eating fat in amounts which most people would think is too much (butter and extra virgin olive oil baby). Also how much of a problem is oxidizing with vegetable oils? I think that doesn't affect health as much as cholesterol in animal fats.

    Vegetable oil & butter unsalted is best & to get crispy crunchy skin you need corn starch & you let the oil heat up at a low temperature until you add the chicken then you put it on a medium once the oil stops talking then you take the chicken out the best way to let the flavor settle is to really let the chicken thaw out so what I do is clean it with vinegar & lemon juice until it's done thawing out then I season it pat dry then add a little bit of chicken broth & bullion & garlic/onion powder, pepper sazon put a tight lid on it marinate for a hour then prep my flour season my food with little salt cause I didn't put any in the chicken & other non salted seasonings but I make sure I've been done this the day I'm cooking it if I know I'm cooking it for dinner I thaw & clean out un the afternoon like 12 so I can start cooking at about 3 or 4

    Here in Kuwait. A lot of reports have been made against KFC after several people had food poisoning from there foods. It turned out that KFC did nothing wrong but the method they use to cook chicken made it raw and bloody from the inside and crispy well done from the outside. They cook it now with new method. First the boil it in hot water until it cooks well from the inside then they finish it with soaking it in its recipe then frying it in the oil. It never tasted better.

    To avoid the bubbles, some cooks bread the chicken and let the pieces rest for 20 before going into the oil.

      not everything has to be healthy to be good for you, sometimes it's the feel good one gets from food and not just low in fat stuff and salads etc., our bodies do require fat (as do our brains) to function....don't be scared to eat an "unhealthy" meal now and again, a treat occasionally is a real mood lifter and that in turn is good for us.
