Recipe of KFC style chicken

Vida Recetas Editorial

KFC style chicken is a homemade recipe that aims to replicate the flavor and crispy texture of the famous fried chicken from the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chain. This version has become popular worldwide for its simplicity and for achieving a result very similar to the original, with a golden, crispy exterior and a juicy, tender interior. The key lies in the double breading and the mixture of wheat flour with cornstarch, which provides that characteristic texture.

This recipe is ideal for those who want to enjoy homemade fried chicken without complications, with easy-to-find ingredients and a step-by-step process that anyone can follow, even if you are a beginner in the kitchen. Unlike other versions, this one includes a liquid batter with egg and mineral water or beer, which helps create a lighter, airier crust.

You can also adapt it to your taste: if you prefer a spicier flavor, add a little paprika or chili powder to the breading. You can also use thighs or wings instead of breasts, adjusting the frying time. The result is a perfect dish to share with family, accompanied by french fries, salad, or your favorite sauce.
