FAQS

  1. How can I make homemade chicken fry gluten-free?

    To make a gluten-free version of homemade chicken fry, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour. Additionally, ensure that the breadcrumbs you use are gluten-free as well. This way, you can enjoy a crispy chicken fry without the gluten.

  2. What is the best way to store leftover homemade chicken fry?

    To store leftover homemade chicken fry, let the chicken cool completely and then place it in an airtight container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the chicken fry. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag. It can last up to 2 months in the freezer.

  3. What can I serve with homemade chicken fry as a side dish?

    Homemade chicken fry pairs well with a variety of side dishes. You can serve it with a fresh salad, coleslaw, or even some dipping sauces like ranch or garlic mayo. For a more substantial meal, consider serving it alongside rice or mashed potatoes.

  4. Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken pieces for this recipe?

    Yes, you can definitely use chicken breasts instead of whole chicken pieces for your homemade chicken fry. Just make sure to cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and get that crispy coating.

  5. How long should I marinate the chicken for the best flavor?

    For the best flavor, it's recommended to marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. However, if you have more time, marinating it for 2-4 hours or even overnight will enhance the flavors even more, making your homemade chicken fry even tastier.
