KFC Chicken Legs

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I had cured some chicken legs to do at the river. They turned out very good.



I had 8 legs left and decided to use them for some KFC. I use to make it all the time but been a while. Followed instructions on box for Louisiana Crispy Chicken Fry. Let sit in fridge for 30 minutes. This where I forgot how to do. I sprayed them with some oil before putting on the kettle. Usually wait until they cook for thirty minutes. They firm up at that point and take the oil better but it worked out. I had a butternut squash. This the first time I ever seen the seeds sprouted inside. I decided to just go ahead a bake them. They where not very good. Between the 3 day cure and the salt in the breading chicken was fairly salty. Some lessons learned on this one.

Well , they sure look good . I skip any extra salt when using a brine , but have hsd the same happen when using a coating and a rub .

That Louisiana coating is fantastic on regular fried chicken . Did you do the batter step , or just go on dry ?

Thanks Rich. I just ate couple for breakfast. Not so salty that cant eat them but they are a bit salty. I made the batter 5 Tbsp mix in 1/2 cup cold water.

I understand the combination getting a bit salty, but dang, those are some fine looking legs.

Yup . Works great . When I used it , it said do the batter mix , dip , then dredge in the dry . Makes a great fried chicken .
I'll have to pick some up next time shopping .

Dang nice job on those chicken pieces Brian. They look fantastic. KFC is one of those dishes I promised myself I do it again and then forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

Point for sure

Thanks Eric. I have also become a bit salt sensitive in my old age. Gave left overs to dogs at river.
