Cooking Fried Chicken Tip

[Mike Belt]

I saw this sometime during all the pre-race stuff for the Ky Derby and it made good sense. It was some chef preparing food there. The guy was frying chicken breasts. He said (and I know from experience) that the chicken can be so thick that when frying in order to get the inside done the outside may burn. To eliminate this he bakes his chicken first until about 3/4 done. Then he takes it out of the oven, milks and batters it, and drops it into a fryer. This way the inside is done at the same time the outside is a nice golden brown and not burned.

Nice tip. May want to try getting the bird up off the cooking pan, use a wire grill. To keep moisture cover the pan with aluminum foil.
