Texas Roadhouse Fried Chicken Recipe
The Texas Roadhouse Fried Chicken Recipe is crispy and tasty. It tastes just like the one from the restaurant. You can make it at home with simple things. The outside is golden and crunchy, and the inside is soft and juicy.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for spice
- Oil for frying canola or vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Wash and dry the chicken. Cut it into even pieces so it cooks evenly.
Marinate the Chicken
- Pour buttermilk into a bowl. Add some salt and pepper. Put the chicken in and rest it for 30 minutes. This makes it soft and tasty.
Make the Coating
- Mix flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper in another bowl. This mix gives a crunchy outside.
Coat the Chicken
- Take chicken from the buttermilk. Dip it in the flour mix. Press gently so it sticks well. Put it on a plate and rest for 5 minutes. This helps the coating stay firm.
Heat the Oil
- Pour oil into a deep pan. Heat to 350°F (175°C). Check with a wooden spoon—bubbles mean it’s ready.
Fry the Chicken
- Put chicken pieces into the hot oil. Do not put too many at once. Fry 6–7 minutes on each side until golden brown. The inside should reach 165°F (74°C).
Drain and Rest
- Take the chicken out and put it on a rack with paper towels. This removes extra oil and keeps it crispy. Let it rest for a few minutes before eating. Now your Texas Roadhouse Fried Chicken is ready!
Notes
- Always use buttermilk for soft, juicy chicken.
- Mix cornstarch with flour for a crisp crust.
- Don’t fry too many pieces at once.
- Keep oil hot but not smoking.
- Rest the chicken before eating to keep it juicy.
