Made this the first time just to see if the copycat recipes actually worked. Chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce overnight, cornstarch in the flour, 350°F oil.
Pulled the first piece out and the crust was exactly right — thick, rough, deep brown, stayed crispy as it cooled on the rack.
Haven't ordered from Popeyes since.
COPYCAT POPEYES FRIED CHICKEN 🍗
- 3 lbs chicken pieces
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 Tbsp hot sauce
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- Salt & pepper to taste
Mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Submerge chicken and marinate at least 4 hours or overnight. Combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt and pepper. Dredge marinated chicken in flour mixture, pressing firmly so the coating sticks. Fry in oil at 350°F — 12-15 minutes for dark pieces, 8-10 for breasts. Drain on a rack.
That crust comes out thick and spiced and it stays crispy all the way through.
