How to Make Kentucky Fried Chicken Seasoning Mix
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat), and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper.
- In a shallow dish, lightly beat 2 large eggs.
- Dip each chicken finger into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Dredge the egg-coated chicken fingers in the spice mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coverage.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F).
- Carefully place the chicken fingers in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- For extra crispy chicken, you can bake the fried chicken fingers in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes. This step is optional
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
