ASMR-Style Crispy Fried Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 kg chicken pieces (skin-on thighs or drumsticks)
• 1 cup wheat flour (for the first coating)
• 3 eggs (beaten for the egg wash)
• 2 cup bread crumbs or panko (for the crunchy outer layer)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps

1. 1

   Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

2. 2

   Set up three dredging stations: a plate with flour, a bowl with the beaten eggs, and a third plate with the bread crumbs or panko.

3. 3

   Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess.

4. 4

   Dip the floured chicken into the beaten egg, ensuring it is completely coated.

5. 5

   Press the chicken firmly into the bread crumbs so the crust adheres well and is uniform.

6. 6

   Heat the oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium-high heat (approximately 175°C / 350°F).

7. 7

   Fry the chicken in batches, without overcrowding the pan, until the skin is golden and crispy and the meat is cooked through (about 12-15 minutes depending on the size of the piece).

8. 8

   Remove the chicken and let it drain on a wire rack or paper towels before serving.

Notes

For a crispier result, ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before adding the chicken. If the oil is too cold, the breading will absorb too much grease.
