The Art Of Fried Chicken

Fried Chicken-the joy it brings to the tastebuds. How can life be good if there are no fried chicken around? DUE TIMES is proud to give our views of good fried chicken.

1)CRUNCHY BATTER-Gives a nice sound as teeth sinks the flesh. But too crunchy makes the fried chicken seem rather retarded. A perfect crunchiness factor is when the batter makes a slightly audible sound when your teeth goes through the batter and skin but there is chewiness(chewy) in it.

2)MOISTURE-The flesh of the chicken must be a little wet. The moisture of freshly fried chicken is hot, not warm. If it is warm, it means that the heat did not penetrate sufficiently. This indicates that the chicken is not cooked thoroughly or it is pre-cooked, resulting in a lacklustre piece of fried chicken.

3)SIZE-Size does matter. But bigger usually means costlier. So price is a consideration here.

4)TASTE-Needs no explanation.
