How does KFC get their chicken so crispy?

For the crispy chicken pieces it is said that KFC use pressure fryers to fry their chicken as it seals in the moisture and allows the chicken to fry quickly and evenly and keep moist.

Do KFC boil chicken before frying?

No they do not boil or cook their chicken pieces first. They keep the pieces to a decent size and dip in a cold water first. Or as this recipe indicates to marinade first then the batter will stick to the chicken pieces. They will cook faster with smaller pieces.

What is the secret to crispy fried chicken?

It is better to mix your flour with corn flour and baking powder. The corn starch will make the flour coating, the batter, crispier and gives it that golden color.

Does KFC leave chicken in oven after deep frying?

It is the best idea to hold and place the fried chicken pieces in the oven of 175 Deg. C for about 20 minutes to rest and finish cooking. To make sure it is cooked through. Serving the freshly fried chicken is not a good idea as it could be raw inside. In the oven it will keep it crispy and finish cooking to serve.
