Recipes for the Tastiest Fried Foods
Sometimes we just have to give in to the urge to indulge in
our favorite fried foods. Whether you are craving a sweet
fried treat or a savory southern fried favorite, this
article has several recipes that even the inexperienced
cook can master! So if you're in the mood for a nice
fry-up, have a look at the following dishes:
Southern Fried Chicken Strips
Ingredients:
1 lb of chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/4 cup of flour
1 tbsp of chicken instant bouillon
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp paprika
vegetable or peanut oil for frying
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk, chicken
bouillon, and oregano. Set this aside for about ten
minutes, then stir well. Put the chicken strips in a large
bowl and pour the buttermilk/bullion/oregano mixture over
them. Roll or stir them to ensure they are fully coated. In
a plastic bag, add the flour and paprika. Chuck in a few
pieces of chicken at a time, seal the bag, then shake it to
coat the chicken. Remove the chicken strips, coat them in
the buttermilk mixture again, then shake them in the flour
again. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the
chicken pieces until they are golden brown all over. Drain
using paper towels, then serve.
Fried Fish
Ingredients:
1 lb fish fillets (cod or haddock are best, but tilapia
will do)
1/4 tsp of paprika
1/2 cup of flour
oil for frying
salt and pepper (to taste)
Directions:
In a bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, pepper, and
salt. Roll the fish in the flour mixture to evenly coat.
Fill a skillet with about an inch of oil and preheat to
about 375 degrees F. Fry the fish for about 10 minutes (5
minutes on each side) and remove to paper towels to drain.
Onion Rings
Ingredients:
1 onion (cut into 1/4 inch slices)
1 egg
1 1/4 cup of four
1 cup of milk
3/4 cup of bread crumbs
1 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of salt
oil for frying
salt and pepper
Directions:
Heat the oil to 365 degrees F (for best results, use about
1 quart of oil in a deep fryer). Pull the onion slices
apart to separate the rings. Set them aside while you
prepare the batter. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and
baking powder. Roll each ring in the flour mixture to coat
well, then set aside. Add the milk and egg to the flour
mixture and stir well. Dip the rings into the batter until
they are well coated. Place the onion rings on a rack or
other surface on which the excess batter can be drained
away. Put a few rings at a time in the deep fryer for about
3 minutes (or until they appear golden brown). Set on paper
towels to drain excess grease. Season with salt and pepper,
then serve.
Donuts
Ingredients:
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of sugar
3/8 cup of milk
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/4 tsp of salt
2 tbsp of shortening
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
1 egg
2 tbsp white vinegar
confectioner's sugar
1 quart of oil for frying
Directions:
Mix together the milk and vinegar. In a separate bowl,
whisk together the shortening and sugar until smooth. Add
the egg and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour, salt, and
baking soda. When that is thoroughly blended, add the milk
and vinegar mixture. Sprinkle flour onto the counter top
and roll the dough out to about 1/3-inch thickness. Cut
with a donut cutter or mold into desired shape. Let them
sit for about 10 minutes while you heat the oil in a deep
skillet (bring to 375 degrees F). Fry the donuts, on both
sides, until golden brown. Drain excess oil with paper
towels, then dust with the confectioner's sugar.
