Patti LaBelle and her Famous Fried Chicken. Made with only a few ingredients, this is a meal you’ll want to cook again and again.
Diving deeply into the world of Patti LaBelle and her dishes has been my current culinary obsession, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular. The icon adds a real touch to her meals, making every meal a palate-pleasing experience. And anybody who has tried one of Patti’s meals would agree that it is more than just cooking; it is a delectable fiesta!
This meal requires the following ingredients: Canola or vegetable oil, three pounds of chicken (cut into eight pieces), seasoning salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and flour.
Heat oil in a big deep frying pan to 350°F, using a thermometer. Season both sides of the chicken generously with seasoned salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Pour the flour into a plastic or paper bag, then add two pieces of chicken. Shake until the chicken is completely coated. Repeat for the remaining chicken. Shake off any extra flour from the chicken before putting it in the heated oil.
Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and transfer to a dish lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot.
This recipe provides a genuinely wonderful fried chicken experience. It’s a monument to simplicity and genuine Southern charm. The preparation is simple and basic, and the golden brown color and pleasant crunch of each mouthful will transport you back to the nostalgic flavors of a bygone period, similar to the warmth of any grandmother’s cooking.
Patti’s delectable rendition complements traditional sides such as smoked turkey lima beans, white rice, and/or cornbread to produce a perfect symphony of flavors. This recipe’s ease of preparation and short cooking time make it not only a tasty treat, but also a practical alternative for people looking for home comforts in a hectic world.
