DEEP FRIED CHICKEN TIMES RECIPES

The recipe that I am using here for fried chicken legs is one that I picked up near Savannah, Georgia. Fried chicken is a popular food all over the country, but it is especially popular in the south, which means that they make a lot of fried chicken that is pretty good. The trick with this recipe, though, is that we aren't deep frying it, but using a braising pan to fry it in about 2 inches of peanut oil. This means that it will take longer to cook because we have to flip them, but it is much easier than deep-frying, and we use a lot less oil.

No, we’re not frying in the pot. And we’re not pressure-frying chicken. The pot’s not built for such measures. Instead, we’re using the pressure in the pot to tenderize the chicken and infuse the flavors into the meat, rendering out a little of the fat to make the thighs even crispier when they eventually hit the hot oil. After cooking under pressure, we can’t fry them in the pot with the SAUTE function on HIGH or MORE. First, we can only fit two at a time, slowing down the process. But more importantly, since we suggest pan-frying the chicken, rather than deep-frying it, the high-sided pot catches and keeps steam inside the insert, rendering the exposed skin above the oil too gummy.
