What is the reason it's called "chicken fried chicken"?

The recipe gets its name from the Southern traditional dish, the fried chicken steak. This is a small piece from beef (usually cube-shaped steak) that is then breaded and cooked, much like chicken fried, and served with a white gravy. Instead of using bone-in parts of chicken, recipes for chicken fried chicken typically call for boneless pieces like cutlets, breasts or skinless and boneless thighs.

Do you require buttermilk for marinating your Fried chicken?

Buttermilk is a great way to soften the chicken and also makes it more delicious. If it's difficult to locate in your region and you want to make it yourself, here's the recipe for buttermilk: mix 2 tablespoons of sour-cream with one teaspoon lemon juice with enough milk so as to produce 1 cup of total.

Could you substitute chicken breasts instead instead of chicken thighs in this recipe?

Chicken breasts work perfectly for this Chicken Fried Recipe with just one condition: avoid large pieces. The thighs of a chicken used in this recipe can vary in the thickness (as they do with chicken legs) but are generally less than 1 inch thick. If your chicken is thicker cut it into smaller cutlets that cook in the required time.

What's the secret to make perfect fried chicken?

The key to tasty, crispy chicken is to keep the cooking oil to a high temperature and to prevent the chicken from cooling off too quickly while cooking.

The temperature of the oil will be a little lower but that's okay however, you must maintain it at or above 325 degrees. In other words, make sure you don't overload the pan. The chicken will become crispy, golden and delicious.
