How to use CJ Beksul fried chicken Mix? ›

It is easy to use - simply mix the powder with water to form a batter, then coat your chicken in the batter and fry until golden brown. CJ Beksul Fried Chicken Mix is perfect for making all kinds of fried chicken, including drumsticks, wings, thighs, and even whole chickens.

In this recipe, I use equal parts of all-purpose flour and potato starch. I first dredge the chicken in flour and then potato starch. The flour will trap the marinade and seasonings inside the shell, and potato starch will create a crisp texture on the outside.

The process of soaking the chicken in a saltwater solution before cooking keeps the meat moist and infuses it with flavor. The salt in the brine solution draws out moisture from the chicken, which is then reabsorbed along with the salt, sugar and flavors from the added spices.

You dredge chicken or any other food before pan-frying to help give it an enticing brown crust. Food dredged in flour or another coating will also gain flavor and texture and get an extra punch from the oil or butter you use to cook the food.

When paired with all-purpose flour, cornstarch helps prevent gluten development, which makes the flour coating crispier, and absorb moisture (from the frying and the chicken), which also means a crispier coating. If you already have a favorite fried chicken recipe, try replacing a quarter of the flour with cornstarch.

Proper cooling sets the crust and ensures that the chicken will have done all its carryover cooking. I like to cool any leftover chicken completely and then store in a paper towel-lined airtight container in the fridge. The paper towel absorbs condensation and keeps that chicken crisp for midnight snacking.

Canola Oil

Benefits: With a high smoke point and neutral flavor, canola oil is excellent for frying chicken. As an added bonus, it has high levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which makes it healthier than other options.

Karaage is marinated: Karaage's unique flavor must come from its marinade. Fried chicken, in contrast, mainly gets its flavor from seasoning in its batter or sauces/toppings applied after.

Chicken Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) is one of my favorite ways to make fried chicken – the marinated chicken thigh is super juicy and flavorful from the soy-sake marinade, and the potato starch makes for a crispy crust.

What is Japanese food dipped in batter? ›

Tempura (天ぷら or 天麩羅, tenpura, [tempɯɾa]) is a typical Japanese dish that usually consists of seafood and vegetables that have been coated in a thin batter and deep fried.

KFC deep fries its chicken for 15 minutes and then drains the oil off for another five minutes – 20 minutes in total. If you don't have a deep fryer, heat up plenty of oil in a large saucepan and do it that way.

To keep fried chicken crispy once you've prepared it, place it in the oven at an extremely low temperature until you're ready to serve. If you'd like to reheat fried leftover chicken, you just need to heat it in an oven to an extremely high temperature. This will allow the coating to dry while the chicken is warming.
