I'm gonna try to make fried chicken
helvetica:
Yeah the only thing I added to the breading was salt and pepper and a LITTLE cayenne pepper. Probably should have put a bit more pepper and maybe a little garlic too as I really don't taste much other than what the Crisco gave.
On the oil thing, I was thinking it'd infuse more flavor into the interior if I spiced the oil a bit.
helvetica:
What other oils would you recommend frying with? All I had was canola and Crisco on hand (e: and I just found some olive oil I guess), but I'd love to try something more exotic and flavorful.
I know my dad uses peanut oil when we fry turkeys at Thanksgiving.
Matsuri:
Peanut oil sounds good, though I wouldn't call that 'exotic' :P
helvetica:
=P
I know you can literally fry with anything, but I'd have no idea how say, chicken fried in coconut oil would come out vs frying in something more traditional like canola or peanut.
Or hell, something like pure animal fat.
Matsuri:
Coconut oil would be interesting. Maybe if you used some coconut as a coating, too-- just a little for flavor and texture.
