About 20 years ago I made the best fried chicken of my life. I have never replicated that recipe. My problem then was just adding some of this, a bit of that. I have come close but just never the same in taste or in texture. I have never given up trying and I think this is as close I ever got to recreating it. It turned out so tasty, juicy and just the right crispness. You can use this recipe to fry any chicken. Skin on, skinless. Breasts, wings thighs or legs.
