If you love KFC fried chicken, this homemade recipe will surprise you.

A former employee revealed his trick to achieve a crispy batter full of flavor.

With simple ingredients and an easy process, you can prepare an irresistible fried chicken at home.

Ingredients

• 6 chicken feet
• 1 bottle of wheat beer
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups flour (approx. 200 g)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 eggs
• 100 ml water
• Chopped parsley (to taste)
• Vegetable oil for frying (sufficient amount)

Preparation

1. Place the chicken feet in a deep jar or bowl and cover them with the wheat beer. Add the salt and let them rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour with the starch, oregano, pepper, paprika and sugar. I divided the mixture into two equal parts.
3. To one of the halves, add the eggs and water, mixing until you get a creamy texture. Add the chopped parsley and stir well.
4. In a pot, heat plenty of vegetable oil over medium heat.
5. Remove the chicken from the beer and dry each leg well with absorbent paper.
6. Run each leg first in the dry flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally return to the dry mixture for a crispy batter.
7. Fry the legs one at a time, making sure the oil is piping hot. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
8. I drained on absorbent paper and served hot.

Tips for a crispier chicken

• Fry in small batches to prevent the oil from dropping its temperature.
• If you want a more intense flavor, leave the chicken in the beer for an hour in the refrigerator.
• Pair it with chips or a homemade sauce to boost the flavor.

With this trick, you will surprise everyone with a homemade fried chicken that has nothing to envy to KFC’s. Try it and enjoy!
