Is It Possible To Fry Chicken With Corn Flour?

You may have seen many fried chicken recipes using plain or all-purpose flour. All-purpos-e flour is not gluten-free flour. That’s why it’s easy to use all-purpose flour than corn flour. But on the other side, corn flour is a gluten-free flour. So it makes the fried chicken more crispy than that of all-purpose flour.

However, while using corn flour, you need to use egg, buttermilk, or any sticky liquid. It makes corn flour stick together with the chicken pieces. So yes! It’s possible to fry chicken with corn flour. 

Best Way to Make Chicken Crispier and Crunchier 

Is corn flour the only effective material to make the chicken crispier? No, you can find some flour that works just like corn flour. Also, there is a tip for you. Mix baking powder with all-purpose flour. It will work out. Besides, potato starch and lily flour can be a good choice. Brine flour makes the chicken crispier outside and juicier inside. 

Rice starch is also a gluten-free flour. It also works well to make chicken crunchy. 

How to Use Corn Flour in Fried Chicken 

The recipe is very easy to execute. It is described more simply. To use corn flour, you need to use a liquid substance. First, go through the marination process. It is as easy as the previous recipe. Use vinegar or buttermilk with marinating herbs and spices. After marinating, let the chicken rest. 

Then dip and coat the chicken pieces with egg and corn flour. Finally, fry the chicken using a frying tool.

How to Make Chicken Fry With Corn Flour

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken Pieces

Cut a whole chicken into several pieces. Separate the thigh, breast, and drumstick pieces. For the chicken tenders recipe, collect only the breast part of the chicken. Clean the chicken with fresh water.

Marinate the chicken pieces with 2 cups of buttermilk, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of ginger powder. Mix them with your hand. Let the chicken rest for an hour.

Step 2: Mix Spices with Corn flour

Take 1 ½ cups of corn flour in a food-grade plastic bag. Now add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of white pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 2 teaspoons of oregano, 2 teaspoons of basil, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and 1 teaspoon of ginger powder.

Use a hand beater and mix them well. Then zip the bag and shake it well. The corn flour will be properly mixed. 

Step 3: Coat the Chicken and Prepare for Frying

In a mixing bowl, beat two large eggs. Then take one marinated piece of chicken and dip it into the beaten egg. Place the chicken piece from the beaten egg into the corn flour mixture.

In the same way, place the other chicken pieces into the flour mixture. Zip the bag and shake it well again. Coat the chicken pieces with flour. When it is fully coated, take it out of the bag. 

Step 4: Deep Fry the Chicken

Take a large cast iron skillet or a deep fryer. Pour 3 cups of oil into the skillet. If you use a deep fryer, fill it with vegetable oil. Heat the oil. Check using a cooking thermometer if the oil has reached 370 Fahrenheit.

Now place the chicken into the oil very carefully. Low down the flame, and after 5 minutes, start stirring. When the chicken pieces turn golden brown, take them away. Your super crispy cornflour fried chicken is ready.

Frequently Asked Question

Which Fryer is The Best for Perfect Crispy Fried Chicken?

The best fryer tool for the recipe is a cast iron skillet. Also, you can use a deep fryer if you are making for so many people. If you think of making it less oily, an air fryer is a good choice. But for this recipe, I suggest you use a cast iron skillet. 

Are Breading the Chicken Necessary?

In this recipe, I will say no. Even it is unnecessary to use breadcrumbs. Because the corn flour will make it crunchier, adding a breadcrumbs layer will cause the fried chicken to lose juiciness inside. In addition, it is necessary to use egg or buttermilk. Otherwise, the corn flour will not stick.

Is Fried Chicken with Corn Flour Low Carb? 

Sorry to say, corn flour is not a low-carb flour. Even it is rich in carbohydrates. However, you can check coconut flour fried chicken if you are interested in low-carb fried chicken. 

In addition, Corn flour is a healthy flour that contains huge fiber and antioxidants. On the other hand, all-purpose flour is rich in protein and iron. So the recipe contains nutritional values. 

Which Type Of Chicken Piece is The Best For The Recipe?

The best type is drumsticks. And at the next, I would put chicken tenders. Using only chicken wings will also work out. I would let you try different pieces for this recipe. So let’s get started with tickling fried chicken. 

How Can I Get Crispy Flavor Only Using All-Purpose Flour Instead Of Corn Flour?

I have always suggested using semolina, gram flour, or baking powder with all-purpose flour to make it crispier. Also, you can mix corn flour with all-purpose flour. 

Which Oil Is Best For Frying?

Any kind of vegetable oil will work well. But if you are thinking of health, go for extra virgin olive or sunflower oil. These oils are cardiologists-approved oils.
