KFC, Burger King, and others have everything prepared beforehand and not to mention that there are many workers inside with everything they need (also good management ) which are the main reasons behind the speed and efficiency of such franchises

For anyone who likes KFC and wants to make it at home here is a quick recipe that can be made in almost no time! I’m confident that you will like it more than KFC

First start by marinating your chicken pieces they can be thighs, drumsticks, or wings whichever you like in a large bowl with butter milk, salt, black paper, and some garlic powder for at least 30 minutes or overnight 🌚 for the best results possible

Grab another bowl and mix ingredients like flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, salt and black pepper 🫑

Now that everything is ready remove your chicken from the marinade, let the the excess drip off and dredge every piece in the flour mixture you made earlier, pressing it on to get good coating but if you want it to be extremely crispy 🔥 you need to double coat it by dipping the chicken back into the marinade and the flour mixture again

Time to fry the chicken! 🐔 Oil should be heated in either a deep fryer or pot to 175C. Fry the chicken in batches be careful not to overcrowd the pot.

Then keep frying until you notice that they are starting to brown and crispy, about 10–12 minutes ⏱️ should be enough, depending on the size of the pieces

Honey sauce! Mix honey sauce, apple cider, vinegar, and chilli flakes in a saucepan. It should be heated for it to thickened and combined

Once the chicken is fried, drain it on a wire rack or paper towels. The last step ( finally I mean finally 😅 ) is to toss the chicken in the sauce to coat it

Enjoy your crispy honey fried chicken 🍗
