Triple-Dipped Fried Chicken

Recipe View Gather all ingredients. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (Heat time: 10-15 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, garlic salt, 1 tablespoon of ground black pepper, paprika, and poultry seasoning. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of beer, the remaining 1 1/3 cups of flour, beaten egg yolks, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. If the batter is too thick, gradually add more beer until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Moisten each chicken piece lightly with water. This helps the flour adhere better. Then, dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Dip the flour-coated chicken into the beer batter, making sure it's completely covered. Allow excess batter to drip off. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Dip the beer-battered chicken back into the seasoned flour mixture for a final coating. This triple-dip is the key to the ultimate crispy crust! Shake off any excess flour. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully lower the chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-18 minutes per batch. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (Cook time: 15-18 minutes per batch)

Recipe View Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. This helps maintain the crispness. (Drain time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, spicy, and delicious triple-dipped fried chicken! (Serve immediately)
