Title: KFC w/crumbs + starch
Post by: rich on July 18, 2014, 09:30:44 AM
I'm posting here because my attempt is to share the sight of KFC with a dry mix that includes corn starch.

A whole of chicken was cut and placed in a bowl with enough milk to cover the pieces.
Then, around 120 grams of corn flakes crumbs, three spoons of corn starch, salt, cayenne... mixed old school with a fork.

I should have salted or seasoned the chicken at this time, I know better now.
But then I just took each piece and made sure it was completely covered with the mix.
It looked dry, so I brushed them with oil; it didn't took much.

Potatoes, lil'oil, salt and pepper on both sides.

In the kettle.

I think this was around 40 minutes later. No turn.

Pay no attention to the temp on the therm. That's when I found it needed calibration.
By the way, I tried with cold water, and then thought it needed to be done with hot water instead. Still not happy with the therm.

The chicken and taters look tasty

How did plan A work out? It looks good.
