Our Favorite Fried Chicken Recipes

The Best Fried Chicken

While there are dozens of ways to cook chicken, no method can compete with frying. Roasting, baking and grilling chicken are great, but no cooking technique will give you the same crispy, juicy piece of protein that frying does. There is no “right” way to fry chicken — many chefs have their own secrets they swear by, plus you can easily experiment with the brine, coating, and cut of chicken. Need a good starting place? Try our best fried chicken, perfected in the Food Network Kitchens, which adds cornstarch to the flour dredge to help keep the crust shatteringly crisp.
