Southern Fried Chicken
Ingredients
For Marination
- 1/2 Kg Chicken Breast
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 1 Tablespoon Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Tablespoon Red Chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon Turmeric
For Coating
- Flour For coating
Servings: People
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken in above mentioned spices for 1/2 to 1 Hour, so that it absorbs enough moisture
- Make Batter by beating ingredients mentioned in "For Batter" seciton
- Strain excess water from the marinated Chicken right before coating it with batter. Don't over strain it, as moisture absorbed by the chicken is very important
- Heat oil in pressure cooker, test it by adding a small piece of chicken, if it pops up then the oil is hot enough for frying
- Coat the chicken with the batter well making sure that it is coated deeply inside
- Roll the chicken into the flour working it with your fingers so that the chicken is well and deeply breaded with flour. Make sure you perform this step just before frying
- Put the chicken pieces in oil and close the lid of cooker
- Place the weight of the cooker and turn up the flame high enough so that it covers the base of cooker. It is very important to note the time at this moment.
- Cook exactly for 3 minutes and remove the cooker from heat and let the pressure release. (3 minutes is the total cook time just after putting the lid of cooker)
- Carefully open the lid after all the pressure is released. If the chicken is golden then it is done, otherwise put it back on flame till its golden.

To bring out the flavour, you’ll need pressure cooker. For restaurants they use pressure fryers, and we use pressure cooker as a substitute.
You can fry them anyway but the flavour wont be the same.

Depends on the size of your cooker, Its not neccessary to put all the chicken in one go, you can divide it into shifts. Oil should be this deep that your chicken pieces can be dipped. Not much oil is required and yes its completely safe unless you don’t leave the pressure cooker on flame for a long time 🙂
