merit

It's healthy because it's not fried. Adding a small amount of oil, such as mayonnaise or salad oil, makes it crispy and juicy . If you want to reduce the fat and calories even further, we recommend making it with chicken breast .

Deep frying a lot of food at once requires a lot of oil and the oil temperature drops, making cooking difficult, but with Chef you can cook a lot of fried food at once and it's economical . Also, deep frying requires constant attention, but with Chef you can leave it to the chef, so you can cook other dishes in the meantime.

Even if you're concerned about oil splatters when deep-frying, the Chef has an automatic cleaning function, so you don't have to worry about it. You can cook easily without having to clean around the stove or dispose of frying oil.

point

The vinegar in mayonnaise helps tenderize meat.
The oil in the mayonnaise coats the meat, preventing it from becoming dry . *You can also use chicken breast instead and make this a delicious dish.

Mixing wheat flour and potato starch makes the outside crispy and the inside juicy. The batter is intentionally left clumpy, giving it a crunchy texture.
*If you are concerned that the finished product is white and powdery, it may be because the flour and seasonings have not been mixed properly.

If you are short on time, you can shorten the marinating time. After adding the seasonings, rub them in thoroughly to let the flavors soak in well .

Key points about fried chicken flour

Here are some points to keep in mind when using fried chicken flour:

point

By mixing a small amount of oil into the fried chicken flour, the chicken becomes crispy and juicy without having to be deep fried.

If the fried chicken batter is too watery, it won't coat the chicken, so adjust the amount of water accordingly.

When placing the chicken, roll it up a little so that it is steamed inside and the juices are not lost, resulting in a restaurant-like finish.

Arrangement

You can enjoy different flavors of fried chicken depending on the flour you use. The flavor of fried chicken can be expanded by using different flours. Try it out while thinking about the final image you want to create and how you will use it.

flour

Fried chicken made with wheat flour is crispy when it's freshly fried and has a moist texture when it cools down, locking in the delicious flavor of the chicken.

potato starch

Fried chicken made with potato starch has a unique texture: if you coat it lightly it becomes crispy, and if you coat it heavily it becomes crunchy . It becomes a little oily as it cools , so it's best to eat it freshly fried.

rice flour

Rice flour has finer particles than wheat flour or potato starch, so it absorbs less oil, resulting in a crispy and healthy dish .

By mixing wheat flour and potato starch in a 1:1 ratio as shown in this article, you can make fried chicken that retains its texture and is delicious even when cooled. It is also recommended for putting in a bento lunch box .

Cooking time reduced to near zero.
