KFC's distinct crispy chicken is achieved by a meticulous process of double breading and open frying, as disclosed by Yum! Brands. The double breading involves dipping the chicken in liquid and dredging it through dry mix twice, enhancing the crust’s texture and moisture retention. Open frying requires more time compared to pressure frying, allowing more internal moisture, crucial for superior flavor and juiciness. While KFC maintains two beloved styles—Original and Extra Crispy—this article emphasizes the unique methods behind their signature crunch.
"The formula involves double breading the meat by hand and then open frying it. This process allows for an iconic extra-crispy crunch while keeping the meat moist."
"In the chicken-frying world, doing things twice, whether it's double breading or double frying, is highly encouraged. More breading creates textured pockets of flavorful crust."
