Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika

chicken, 1 piece at a time, from the batter (allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl) and carefully
transfer to the oil. Fry the chicken, adjusting the burner as necessary to maintain the oil temperature
between 300 and 325 degrees F, until deep golden brown and just cooked through, about 12 minutes.

How to Make Batter

Edited 6 weeks ago
When making batter it's important to keep the batter mixture thin, making your fried food
light and crispy. Light batters coat food evenly while keeping it moist and tender. A
batter recipe is extremely easy to make, and it tastes great with all deep-fried foods,
including fish, shrimp, onion rings, fries, chicken, fritters and a variety of vegetables.
You can easily add other ingredients to the batter to change the flavor.
Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt (substitute sugar for sweet batter)

1 cup water (substitute beer or whole milk as desired)

Paprika, to taste (optional)

Black pepper, to taste (optional)
Warnings
Never use egg yolks when making light, crispy batters. Use egg whites if a recipe calls
for them. Egg yokes make batters heavier. It may also make the batter soggy, with a
more cake-like consistency.
Never overload your deep fryer. Fry a few pieces of food at a time to prevent the oil
temperature from dropping.
Do not make your batter too thick. Thick batters take longer to cook. This may result in
dried-out food, especially when frying fish and seafood.
INGREDIENTS
For the brined chicken
1 quart (4 cups) cold water
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (halve each
breast crosswise and separate leg quarters into thighs
and drumsticks)
For the fried chicken
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
2 to 5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 3/4 cups cold water
3 quarts (12 cups) peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
DIRECTIONS
Make the brine
1. Whisk the water, salt, and sugar in a large bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add the chicken and
refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
Make the fried chicken batter
2. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, baking powder, salt, and water in a large
bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate the batter while the chicken is brining.
Fry the chicken
3. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or other deep-sided pot over medium-high heat till it reaches 350F
(176C). Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
4. Pour off and discard the brine from the chicken. Pat the chicken pieces completely dry with paper
towels. Whisk the batter to recombine. (If the batter seems too thick, add a little cold water, no more than
1 tablespoon at a time, until the batter becomes the consistency of pancake batter.) Place half the
chicken pieces in the batter and turn to coat. Remove the chicken from the batter, allowing any excess to
drip back into the bowl, and carefully transfer it to the oil. Fry the chicken, adjusting the heat as necessary
to maintain the oil temperature between 300F and 325F (149C and 163C). Cook the fried chicken until
deep golden brown and the white meat registers 160F/71C (175F/79C for dark meat), 12 to 25
minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces. Place the fried chicken on the wire rack to drain.
Bring the oil back to 350F (176C) and repeat with the remaining chicken. Serve the fried chicken hot,
warm, at room temperature, even cold if there are any leftovers (hah!).
