To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook northern fried chicken using 10 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Northern Fried Chicken:
- Make ready 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- Prepare 3 egg whites
- Prepare 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- Make ready 1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs
- Take 1 1/2 tsp granulated onion (or onion powder)
- Make ready 1 1/2 tsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
- Get 1/2 tsp paprika
- Make ready 1/2 tsp cayenne
- Get sea salt
- Prepare Canola oil for frying
Instructions to make Northern Fried Chicken:
- Dry brine the chicken for about 4 hours: simply season with salt and then place in the bottom shelf of the fridge uncovered. This will season the chicken and keep it dry. Take the chicken out 30 minutes before cooking.
- Bring a deep, heavy bottom pot no more than halfway filled with some high smoke point oil like canola or vegetable oil and let that heat up on medium heat to about 375F.
- In a bowl, separate the egg white from the yolks and gently whisk to slightly foam the whites. Set aside. Reserve the yolks for scrambled eggs or for a dish like Carbonara.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, and spices. Set aside.
- Dip the chicken into the egg whites, make sure they are well coated, then dip in the flour mixture and really be rough with it, you want flour completely covering the chicken and even better to have little chunks of clumped up flour. Once all the chicken is dredged, they are ready to fry.
- Drop the chicken in the oil few pieces at a time. The most important part of frying is heat management. As soon as you add the chicken, the temp of the oil will drop. So you are going to have to use a thermometer and try to regulate the temp by hand to try and keep it around 350-375F so that the dredge can get properly crispy and the inside stays perfectly cooked.
- Once the internal temp of the chicken is around 185-210F and is golden brown, pull out of the oil and let it drain on a rack or oil absorbent paper. Finish frying the rest of the batch.
- Ready to serve and ENJOY!
