Should I try double frying my chicken fingers?
I have cooking class this week, and we received a recipe for chicken fingers. I’m wondering if double frying them would yield better results, or if I should stick to single frying. The great thing is we can modify the recipe as we wish, according to our teacher’s instructions. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Double frying chicken fingers can definitely enhance their texture and flavor! When you double fry, the first fry cooks the chicken through, while the second fry helps achieve a super crispy exterior. This method is often used for fried foods because it reduces moisture and gives a nice crunch.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how to double fry:
First Fry: Cook the chicken fingers in oil at a lower temperature (around 325°F/165°C) until they are cooked through but not browned, usually about 5-7 minutes. Remove them and let them rest for a few minutes.
Second Fry: Increase the oil temperature to around 375°F/190°C and fry them again until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
By double frying, you’ll get that satisfying crunch on the outside while keeping the inside juicy. Just be cautious with oil temperature; using a thermometer can help ensure perfect frying.
If you’re looking for a fun, crispy texture, definitely give double frying a try! Good luck with your cooking class!
