The crispiest fried chicken
We tested dozens of different methods to fried chicken and we finally found what we think is the crispiest and juiciest version. the first step is to dry brine the chicken, which is a fancy way of saying to season it overnight. this process actually helps the meat retain its moisture while frying, making it extra juicy. the next step is the double-dredge method where you dip the chicken in seasoned flour, then in buttermilk, then back in the flour before frying to get those extra crackly bits. let us know what you think!
