Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix garlic salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, curry powder, and sage with mortar and pestle, then add to 1 cup flour.
- Dip chicken pieces in water, then coat with the flour and spice mixture.
- Fry in hot oil for about 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken pieces in buttermilk for a few hours before coating them. If you want a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture. Use gluten-free flour if needed, and for a healthier option, you can bake the chicken instead of frying it. Just ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Miles' Fried Chicken with classic sides like coleslaw and cornbread for a delightful meal. It also pairs beautifully with Momzy'S Chicken Tetrazzini for a comforting dinner. Consider offering a dipping sauce like honey mustard or barbecue sauce on the side for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fried chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the coating soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless chicken for this recipe?
Yes, boneless chicken pieces can be used, but keep in mind that cooking times may vary. Boneless thighs or breasts will cook faster, so adjust your frying time accordingly to prevent dry chicken.
What type of oil is best for frying?
Use a high smoke point oil like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil for frying. These oils can withstand high temperatures without burning, ensuring a crispy exterior while keeping the chicken moist inside.
Can this recipe be made in an air fryer?
Absolutely! To make this recipe in an air fryer, coat the chicken as instructed and place it in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
