KRISPY CHICKEN NEAR ME RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat a non-sticking pan sprinkled with 1 tablespoon of salt. When it is hot lower the flame, add the chicken breast and cover. After 8 minutes, flip chicken over, cover and cook for another 8 minutes. Wrap the chicken breasts in aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-6 minutes. In the meantime, heat 7 quarts of water to boiling and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Cook the Fettuccine according to package instructions and drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Shred the chicken breasts. Melt the butter in the pan and toss the shredded chicken for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Set aside. Heat the Alfredo sauce in a separate large skillet, then add the pasta and toss gently to incorporate, adding cooking water to the pan a little at a time as needed to achieve a cream-like consistency. Plate the Fettuccine and top with crispy chicken, chopped parsley, freshly ground black pepper and grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Steps:

• Take your cut up chicken pieces and skin them if you prefer. Put the flour in a large plastic bag (let the amount of chicken you are cooking dictate the amount of flour you use). Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken).
• Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. LET SIT UNTIL THE FLOUR IS OF A PASTE-LIKE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
• Fill a large skillet (cast iron is best) about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until VERY hot. Put in as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
• Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.
