There was always such electric energy pulsing in her small rustic kitchen in Mississippi.  The charming Southern cooking and laughter from our \u201cback in the day\u201d conversations with all my family are the memories I cherish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of her best recipes is this Classic Fried Chicken! It was always a fresh bird, well-seasoned with a juicy inside and golden brown crunchy crust on the outside. Each bite is perfect, especially when served with <a href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/collard-greens-recipe\/\">collard greens<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/southern-cornbread-recipe\/\">cornbread<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each dish on Big Mama\u2019s dining room table has inspired creativity in my culinary experiments. Each memory has become part of the fabric of who I am and the inspiration behind Grandbaby Cakes. Big Mama\u2019s remarkably inspired recipes remain alive today through this blog, and I\u2019m more than proud to have every one of them in my arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69_1 ez-toc-wrap-left-text counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #bf368f;color:#bf368f\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #bf368f;color:#bf368f\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/big-mamas-fried-chicken\/#The_Origin_of_Big_Mamas_Fried_Chicken_Recipe\" title=\"The Origin of Big Mama&#8217;s Fried Chicken Recipe\">The Origin of Big Mama&#8217;s Fried Chicken Recipe<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/big-mamas-fried-chicken\/#The_Heart_Soul_Of_This_Fried_Chicken_Recipe\" title=\"The Heart &amp;

According to my mom, Big Mama fried chicken at least once a week when she was growing up. She would buy live chickens from her neighbor Ms. Barnett\u2019s hatchery, then load the chicken crates into the back of Big Daddy\u2019s pickup truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time Big Daddy got home from work, fresh fried chicken was on the table for supper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-heart-amp-soul-of-this-fried-chicken-recipe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Heart_Soul_Of_This_Fried_Chicken_Recipe\"><\/span>The Heart &amp; Soul Of This Fried Chicken Recipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cuisine Inspiration: <\/strong>Southern<br><strong>Primary Cooking Method:<\/strong> Stovetop, Frying<br><strong>Key Flavor:<\/strong> Chicken<br><strong>Skill Level:<\/strong> Easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweet_Spots\"><\/span>Sweet Spots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tested and Perfected Over Years. <\/strong>The basics for this recipe have been passed down from my grandmother to my mother and eventually to me. Over the years, we&#8217;ve each put our<strong> <\/strong>unique spin on it. Now I am delighted to pass this family heirloom down to you!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crispiest Crust. <\/strong>From the combination of ingredients to make the flavorful breading to the method I show for coating the chicken, you are guaranteed the best crispy crust on your fried chicken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Classic Southern Favorite.<\/strong> You can&#8217;t go wrong with fried chicken if you&#8217;re looking to enjoy a home-cooked meal. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Comforting and Satisfying. <\/strong>I don&#8217;t know what makes fried chicken such a popular comfort food. Maybe it&#8217;s the flavor, the fact you can eat it with your fingers, or the combination of crunch and flavor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Perfect for All Types of Occasions<\/strong>. Serve it up for picnics, barbecues, parties, family gatherings, weekend dinners, and more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ingredients_to_Make_Fried_Chicken\"><\/span>Ingredients to Make Fried Chicken<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how my Big Mama worked her wizardry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chicken Pieces:<\/strong> Be sure to use fresh, plump pieces of chicken! If your preference is drumsticks, stick to those. If you\u2019re a thigh fan, cook \u2018em up. Don\u2019t feel pressured to cook up pieces of meat that you don\u2019t enjoy eating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Egg contains a high amount of protein which creates a thicker, more stable crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hot Sauce: <\/strong>A few dashes add the necessary kick! Feel free to omit or add extra based on your preference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Worcestershire Sauce:<\/strong> The added savory and sweet tang from it is more than welcome! This was a new school addition to Big Mama&#8217;s recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour:<\/strong> Flour is the base for our seasoning and helps to create that mega-crispy seasoned crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seasoned Salt and Pepper:<\/strong> No good fried chicken happens without some salt and pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cornstarch: <\/strong>The added starch aids in creating a golden, crispy crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paprika:<\/strong> A few dashes add a sweet, smoky flavor and a wonderful color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cayenne Pepper:<\/strong> Cayenne has a strong, pungent bite that heightens the flavor of every other seasoning in this recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic and Onion Powder: <\/strong>Both are aromatic, subtle, and sweet. The hints of garlic and onion come through in every bite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients to make big mama's fried chicken on the table before mixing together.\" class=\"wp-image-47660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-ingredients.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-ingredients-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-ingredients-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-ingredients-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_the_Best_Fried_Chicken\"><\/span>How to Make the Best Fried Chicken<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the main steps that go into making this fried chicken recipe.

We&#8217;re talking splatters, oil spillovers, and a hot mess of ending up with chicken that&#8217;s either overdone or still raw in the middle. But don&#8217;t you worry, we&#8217;re gonna tackle these frying woes head-on and whip up a way to make your frying experience as smooth and clean as a whistle. Let&#8217;s get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fry in a Deep Cast Iron Skillet or Dutch Oven:<\/strong> Frying in a shallow pan will cause overflow. Prevent a hot mess by using a deep Dutch oven, a deep cast-iron skillet, or even a heavy-bottomed stock pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set Up a Fry Station<\/strong>: Being prepared is the best way to prevent a dangerously chaotic situation. At the center of your fry station should be your Dutch oven, to the left, the prepped and ready-to-fry chicken, and to the right, a cooling rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use the Right Utensils:<\/strong> Use stainless-steel tongs or a spider strainer for lowering and removing the chicken from the pot. Either one will keep your hands and arms farther away from the hot oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a Thermometer<\/strong>: You can\u2019t rely on the chicken\u2019s coating color to determine doneness. In most instances, the chicken will need to cook for about 15 minutes. To be sure it&#8217;s done you should check the internal temperature of the chicken. When it&#8217;s 165\u00b0 F, it&#8217;s ready. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep the Heat Consistent.<\/strong> Be sure to monitor the temperature of your oil using a deep-fry thermometer. For even cooking and the crispiest chicken, the oil should remain at a steady 350\u00b0 F. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cool Before Serving<\/strong>: Cool the chicken for at least 10 minutes before serving. Proper cooling will set the crust and ensure that the meat is fully cooked and settled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Popular_Substitutions_Additions\"><\/span>Popular Substitutions &amp; Additions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chicken Pieces: <\/strong>You can use any type of chicken you enjoy with this method and breading recipe! It works with drumsticks, whole chicken cut into pieces, wings, and even chicken tenders. Just note that the cooking time may vary for each type of chicken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust the Flavors:<\/strong> You can adjust the quantities of each of the seasonings as you prefer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gluten-Free: <\/strong>Swap the flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blended flour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spicy Fried Chicken: <\/strong>Use a heavy hand on the hot sauce when adding it to the egg mixture. You can also add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to the breading mixture as well. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-4-760x507.jpg\" alt=\"A plate on the table with fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans.\" class=\"wp-image-47664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-4-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-4-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-4-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Serve_with_Fried_Chicken\"><\/span>What to Serve with Fried Chicken<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what it\u2019s served with, this Fried Chicken recipe is destined to be the star of any spread.

Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0 F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread out the chicken on the baking sheet and cover with another baking sheet to insulate. Heat for 20 minutes, and then let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_will_fried_chicken_last_in_the_fridge\"><\/span>How long will fried chicken last in the fridge?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leftover fried chicken will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_freeze_fried_chicken\"><\/span>Can I freeze fried chicken?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yep, you can freeze leftovers if you want!

This means the chicken cooked too quickly on the outside and browned too fast. The best way to keep this from happening is to use a thermometer to test your oil to make sure it&#8217;s at the right temperature.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698596976524\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is my fried chicken soggy?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Soggy chicken is usually a result of a temperature issue with the oil, or it wasn&#8217;t drained properly after cooking. Make sure your oil is hot before adding the chicken, and don&#8217;t add too much chicken to the pan. You are best to cook fewer pieces of chicken at a time. When you add too much chicken to the skillet the oil temperature drops and the breading soaks in too much oil instead of frying up crisp. Also, when you remove the chicken from the skillet you want to give it time to drain properly. I prefer using a wire rack placed over paper towels but if you don&#8217;t have one then a paper towel-lined tray is fine. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698597190620\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you keep the breading from falling off the chicken?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This is where letting your breaded chicken rest before cooking is key. Letting the chicken sit for thirty minutes will give the egg mixture and flour mixture time to meld together so it adheres to the chicken better. Don&#8217;t be in a rush and skip this step! It&#8217;s essential to a good outcome.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-1.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of fried chicken with potatoes and green beans.\" class=\"wp-image-2965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-1-277x416.jpg 277w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/big-mamas-fried-chicken-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fried chicken, with its crispy, golden crust, and juicy, succulent meat, is the ultimate comfort food!!
