The Best
Flour For The Crispiest Fried Chicken Ever
NEWS
BY HILARY WHEELAN REMLEY
Using the right flour can be the key to perfecting your fried chicken, and one of the best options is Wondra flour, a pre-cooked and finely ground flour with low protein.
Because it's been pregelatinized and has little protein, Wondra flour is less likely to clump while frying. Rather, it produces a light and airy fry that lends a delicious crunch.
If you’re gluten-free, you can also swap in rice flour. Rice flour is less absorbent than regular flour, so your fried chicken is less likely to become soggy or greasy.
Self-rising flour is also great for fried chicken, as the baking powder in it will create air bubbles during frying and give your fried chicken a crunchy, delicious crust.
