This batch has paprika, fresh ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper for a spice mix. Marinate is buttermilk, egg, salt, spice mix. Flour coating has spice mix and salt as seasoning. This is the Food Lab recipe. I want to try other spice mixes.

What do you use as a spice mix?

I'll be watching this one. The one thing that I've never had good luck at cooking is fried chicken.

You'd think that it would be about the easiest thing to cook but yet...I fail.

1. marinate chicken first in Crystal hot sauce
2. LOTS of Lawry's seasoned salt, plus garlic, onion powders and poultry seasoning in flour

If you like garlic, try adding a little Johnny's garlic spread in your spice mix. It's rather good.

I brine my chicken in pickle juice before coating.

What do you use for a coating? egg, flour breadcrumbs?

Alton Brown has an entire episode of Good Eats on Buttermilk Fried Chicken in a pan (cast iron skillet).

It's excellent, and is the basis of my method. A bit of work, and has to sit overnight, but it's delicious.

Right now I'm on a low carb diet so I use a 50/50 blend of almond flour and grated Parmesan.

But before that, breadcrumbs.

Both with battered egg as an adhesive.

Grandma used to use cornflakes. It was damn good.

Does the type of oil make a whole lot of difference?

What if I just use corn or veg oil?

Here is another tip. Brine the chicken before frying. There are recipes for brines all over the internet, so pick one that appeals. The simplest are water, salt, and sugar. Brining keeps the chicken moist, tenderizes it a bit (an acid brine, like buttermilk more so), and the tang of some salt or acid in the brine will counter the richness of the fried batter. Brine it at least 12 hours. 24 is better.

As to spices - paprika, cayenne, sage, thyme, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, pepper, dry mustard, and a little salt are a good place to start. Mix and match. Keep it in balance. It would be hard to go wrong.

Stay away from envelopes of spices - they are mostly salt, and the preservatives are nasty.




The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything.

Thanks. I'll try these. I thought that the spice mix I used and posted should have had sage and thyme.

It's also better to put the spices on the chicken and underneath the breading rather than in the flour or whatnot because some spices will burn and have an off taste.

Veg or peanut. Depending on your preference.

James Beard recommended lard. It is superior, and probably not as unhealthy as we would have thought a few years ago.

I make it with AP flour, garlic salt, onion powder, Lawry's seasoning salt, Mrs Dash, and black pepper. No real measurements, just shake it in until it feels right. Dip chicken in whole milk, then coat with the powder mix and repeat. Fry until golden brown.

Oh, and only use legs or thighs. There's no such thing as good white meat chicken. Smile

I think so, I think things taste different/better in peanut oil.

Grind up pork rinds to use with your low carb "breading". They add a good flavor and some crunch.
