How to Make Perfect Fried Chicken
- If using a deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Alternatively, use a large, heavy-bottomed pot with at least 3 inches of oil and heat to 350°F (175°C) using a candy thermometer.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon Accent seasoning.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes (longer is better, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup milk.
- In another shallow bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning.
- Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat again thoroughly in the flour mixture.
- Carefully place 3-4 chicken pieces (avoid overcrowding) into the hot oil. Fry for about 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C)).
- Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or a large plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Repeat steps 7 and 8 until all the chicken is cooked. Serve immediately and enjoy!
