I'm going to make some homemade KFC this weekend, 'cept spicier

I did this ages ago
I was advised to boil the chicken in milk first as this makes it really tender.

Really? Nice tip man, thanks.

Then dip in into seasoned flour
(loads of paprika and chilli in it)

This is true
also, means you can fry it hotter for a shorter time (tastier and less greasy) without risking the chicken being raw.

Do you have to deep fry it?

(Bazongaloid, Tue 17 Jul 2012, 12:07, Reply)

probably not
but I think frying will give you the best result.

I shallow fry, to get the breadcrumbs nicely stuck on and to get some oil onto the chicken
then shove in the oven to cook through

might work.
If you poached the chicken first you might not need the oven bit, even.

I'm never convinced shallow frying is any better for you than deep frying. Well, it probably isn't. Just less hassle I supposed.

That was what I was hoping to avoid really, the hassle of having a big pan full of oil
if you boiled it in milk for 10-20 minutes I would have thought that shallow frying would be enough to crisp the skin?

I reckon so, yep.

Good, then it's your fault if I get food poisoning.
And fat.

I have only bad experiences of things cooked in milk...

Did Noel cook his penis in milk?

It's a common nonce trick to entice babies onto it.

Nah. Dad used to cook cod in milk.
it was horrendous.

I'm trying to work out where this fits in.

(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 17 Jul 2012, 12:30, Reply)

before milk

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 17 Jul 2012, 12:31, Reply)

Oh.
Ew. Urgh, I don't want to think about that.
