Fried Chicken Tips

Keeping the cooked chicken warm. Chances are you will only have a fryer able to cook 3-4 pieces at a time so you may want to keep some warm while the rest cooks. Place the chicken on a rack in a warm oven at around 75 degrees. It will be fine for an hour or so. If the batter goes soggy which it may well do from the steam simply refry each piece for 1-2 minutes again before serving!

Keep a jug of water and cloth by the chicken when battering so you can quickly wash your fingers as the batter and flour soon builds up leaving you with big fat fingers!

Buy a probe thermometer to check the internal temperature of your chicken. This ensures you never over cook and dry out the chicken too much - highly recommended!

Again the golden rule is to test, taste and adjust your seasonings before you start cooking all your chicken. This way you get to see what it will taste like before making it all. Just take a small slice of a vegetable such as a mushroom and batter and fry and taste. Adjust your seasoning appropiately.
