Homemade KFC-Style Chicken

Ingredients

• Clean, washed, and drained chicken pieces
• Cardamom pods
• Salt
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon hot paprika or hot red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (or bicarbonate)
• How to make crispy potatoes using the same KFC seasoning:

Method

1. Place the chicken pieces with a pinch of salt and cardamom pods in a pot on the stove, cover, and leave for half an hour over medium heat
2. After the time has passed, remove the pieces from the pot and put them in a deep bowl with the yogurt and salt, tossing the pieces in the yogurt
3. In a wide bowl, mix the flour with paprika, garlic powder, turmeric, and baking soda, then add the mixture over the chicken pieces that have been dipped in yogurt
4. After the flour mixture coats the chicken pieces on all sides, leave them to soak for one hour in the refrigerator
5. After the time has passed, deep-fry the KFC-style chicken in plenty of oil at medium heat until browned and crispy
6. Cut the potatoes into quarters, wash them well, and simmer them for seven minutes in boiling water with a pinch of salt
7. Remove them from the water and let them cool completely
8. When they are cool, repeat the same steps used for the chicken — dip them in yogurt first, then the flour mixture, then deep-fry in plenty of oil
