All About The Timeless And Savory Fried Chicken

By Jason Sullivan


There are few dishes that are so quintessential to the point of being adopted the whole world over. Whatever your leanings, you must have at least tasted it, or at the very least heard of it. We are talking about fried chicken Merrick NY.

This is a type of poultry comestible that is often cleaved at the joints. Therefore, you can get parts like the breast, wing, or drumstick. All of these are each on a league of their own, thats why people foster each as favorites, and no good part goes to waste.

Perhaps the most well loved feature of this chicken foodstuff is its crisp coating. This breading, or crust, adds to the trademark browned look of this comestible. Unlike roasted poultry, this caters to the individual palate, what with being cut at the joints for a slightly larger than bite sized serving.

The skin and bones are also left intact, that which is certainly not the case in boiled or steamed poultry. In fact, these two are what makes the whole serving seem like the classic, with its wing or drumstick handle, which you hold as you take in the savory goodness of the foodstuff. The greatest hallmark of a well cooked fried chicken is its browned, crisp skin.

Of course, fried chicken will not be so without the cooking oil. Generally, lard is used to fry the poultry foodstuff, but then one may perhaps prefer the vast host of oils, like peanut, corn, canola, or vegetable oil. Olive oil is rarely or not at all used, by the way. And let us not skate over the most quintessential part, frying. But then, there are also different ways of doing this, like broasting, deep frying, and also pan prying.

After which, you now have the classic parts of the standard fried chicken, the chicken breast, wings, thighs, and legs. The ribs are left in the breast part sometimes. But more often than not, though, extraneous parts are often discarded, and commercially, only the four are up for ones taking.

This is perhaps the only dish of its kind which has been enthusiastically adopted universally. For example, you have the famous Korean fried chicken. And there is just no skating over the many branches and franchises of fast food chains which have this as their reigning comestible. These spin off recipes differ in their place of provenance, and though they likely differ in seasonings or methods of cooking, one can still remark on the quintessential quality of the classic poultry dish.

Although the trademark is the same, crispy exterior with meaty interior, one can already remark the differences with each given. That is due to the different cooking methods used, if not for the different ingredients added in. Usually, you get a batter coating of flour. However, this is sometimes appended with many kinds of seasoning, like milk, eggs, and other leavening agents. Other than that, they may be dredged with extra salt, pepper, paprika, onion, garlic, and other seasonings and dressing. And, of course, after dredging in these ingredients, you also have different ways and means of frying. There are totally no limits in the ways in which this dish can be inventive.

Of course, businesses that build on the quality of this food have to be endlessly inventive and innovative if they want to remain relevant. Therefore, they keep coming up with new ways to make their comestible seem fresher and newer. Therefore, they either add new ingredients or else pitch in a delicious side dish that meshes well with the fried poultry. For instance, they experiment with new sauces or seasonings, like gravy, mashed potato, biscuits, and creamy coleslaw salad. Whatever they pitch in to make this quintessential comestible seem like new, it still remains to be something we just cannot get enough of.
