Why Restaurant Fried Chicken Is Always Better Than Homemade
BY Claudia Alarcón
Speaking to Tasting Table, Lambert Givens, Executive Chef at Hunter's Kitchen & Bar in Boston, explained why restaurant fried chicken always tastes better than homemade.
He said, "The combination of high-quality chicken, a well-seasoned coating, and proper frying techniques all play a role in making restaurant fried chicken so delicious."
To make restaurant-quality fried chicken, get the best quality chicken you can afford. Buy a whole chicken and cut it yourself to control the shape and size of the pieces.
Most importantly, brine or marinate the meat to add flavor and juiciness. Per Givens, "The key to … restaurant-style fried chicken … is all about proper seasoning and marinating."
