Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine biscuit mix and salad dressing mix in a plastic bag. Shake to mix.
- Place 2 or 3 pieces of chicken in the bag.
- Shake well to coat the chicken evenly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer.
- Fry the coated chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier coating, let the coated chicken sit for about 10-15 minutes before frying. If you prefer a healthier option, you can use an air fryer instead of deep frying. Substitute the vegetable oil with olive oil for a different flavor profile. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding chicken to avoid sogginess.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the herbed fried chicken with classic sides like coleslaw and mashed potatoes for a comforting meal. It also pairs beautifully with 'One Dish Chicken And Potatoes' for a hearty dinner. Consider adding a side salad for freshness, or serve with biscuits for a true Southern feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fried chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it can make the coating soggy.
