Jamaican KFC Spicy Fried Chicken

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken [00:50]

Cut up and wash half of a medium chicken (about 4.5 pounds) in vinegar and lime water. You will need one thigh, one rib, one breast, one wing, and one drumstick.

Step 2: Make the Marinade [02:23]

In a blender, combine the scotch bonnet peppers, chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper, onion powder, black pepper, white pepper, and garlic powder. Add ice water to achieve a thick marinade consistency.

Step 3: Marinate the Chicken [04:51]

Place the chicken pieces in a Ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 day or up to a week for best flavor.

Step 4: Prepare the Breading [08:10]

In a bowl, mix the flour with brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, ground mustard, white pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. This will be used for breading the chicken.

Step 5: Bread the Chicken [09:00]

Remove the chicken from the marinade and dip it in the seasoned flour. Shake off excess flour and then dip it in water before returning it to the flour for a second coating.

Step 6: Fry the Chicken [12:49]

Preheat oil to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry the chicken pieces for about 15 to 18 minutes, ensuring not to move them for the first 2 minutes. Cover the pot to retain moisture.

Step 7: Monitor Cooking [14:00]

Remove the chicken breast after about 12 to 14 minutes when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to prevent overcooking. Return it to the oil for an additional 4 to 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
