The Perfect Pan-Fried Chicken, According to Charles Gabriel | Food Skills

  • Опубликовано: 18 фев 2018
  • A semi-finalist for Best Chef at the 2018 James Beard Awards, Charles Gabriel breaks down the keys to his now legendary pan-fried chicken recipe. Often neglected for a deep-fryer and a vat of oil, the giant pan makes for a crispier, juicier final product, and requires non-stop focus from the chef. At Charles’ Country Pan Fried Chicken, whole birds are butchered, battered, and then flipped one-by-one in the pan until golden brown. A staple in Harlem, New York, and a boon to home cooks everywhere, the pan-fried style perfected by Gabriel will change the way you look at fried chicken.

    @Boyetto-san 5 лет назад +47

    Most pan-fried recipes I've seen have dark or charred spots where the chicken was contacting the bottom of the pan, and so browned faster there. How Charles Gabriel manages to make evenly browned chicken by constantly turning them in the pan really shows how much work and attention he puts in.

    I think one of the important factors is that he uses whole chicken. A chicken that's just cut up is so much better than chicken that's sold in parts. It makes a huge difference in juiciness.
