On the left side of the page we have a simple fried chicken. Often coated with an egg wash or milk and coated with flour before being fried in oil or shortening, this recipe is most often not dairy free, egg free or wheat free.
The darker chicken on the right was an experiment. As any chef will tell you, sometimes the experiments work and sometimes they do not. This one worked...oh yes , did it work.
This particular experiment exceeded all expectations. This simple egg-free battered fried chicken recipe was absolutely delicious. Spectacular! And it was easy.
Lessons learned: Next time I will break the chicken up into smaller pieces. Smaller pieces fry faster and you don't get different temperature readings at different parts of the food.
It doesn't get any easier than this: make pancake mix according to directions on package. Coat chicken in batter. Fry at 325 degrees in Canola or similar for 3-5 minutes or until upwards of 170 degrees internal chicken temperature.
Nature's Path Organic Buttermilk Pancake Mix: Organic whole wheat flour, organic buttermilk powder, organic vital wheat gluten, granulated cane juice sugar, non-GMO baking soda, non-GMO baking powder, sea salt, tocopherols (natural vitamin E) added to enhance freshness. Made in a facility that uses wheat, soy and milk.
Tomorrow I am going to mix a batch of pancake mix, coat some chicken and perfect this recipe.
Cayenne might do the trick.
