POPEYE’S SPICY CHICKEN RECIPE
Now you can make your own Popeyes Buttermilk fried chicken at home. This very crunchy and tender dish tastes a thousand times better when it’s prepared from scratch!
Here’s the best, crispy Fried chicken if you’ve been wanting fried chicken sandwiches. On the surface, it has a highly crispy texture, while on the interior, it is soft and juicy and laden with various spices. It’s about as near as you can get to the world-famous Popeyes chicken, which is now unavailable everywhere, but in my view, it’s SO MUCH BETTER and it’s incredibly simple to make at home!
The use of buttermilk lends the chicken a true southern flavor and assists in the formation of the crust’s characteristic crinkles, which contribute to the chicken’s extra-crispy texture. In comparison to coating the chicken in flour alone, the use of cornstarch helps the crust become very crunchy while yet keeping a soft texture. If you don’t have any cornstarch at home, you may use more flour and one tablespoon of baking powder for it. But, I do strongly recommend that you use it since it will provide the greatest results.
