Chicken Fried Chicken vs. Fried Chicken Fried chicken is made with bone-in chicken pieces coated in flour and fried (or oven-fried). Chicken fried chicken is made from boneless pieces that are flattened and double-dipped in flour, eggs, and flour again before being cooked, so it’s extra crunchy!
Ingredients for Chicken Fried Chicken
Chicken: Chicken fried chicken is made with boneless and skinless chicken breasts or chicken breast cutlets. It’s also great with chicken thighs. Seasoned Coating: I use all-purpose flour as the base of the coating, and, while it’s not traditional, I add a bit of cornstarch to make it extra crispy—this comes from my crispy chicken sandwiches, which has one of my favorite crispy coatings. White Gravy: The gravy is simple with flour and milk. The flavor comes from the brown bits in the pan from frying the chicken and lots of black pepper.
We love chicken fried chicken with gravy over waffles or homemade buttermilk biscuits.
