Season both sides with garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, onion powder, and a little kosher salt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the coating:<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the water:<\/strong><br \/>\nSlowly pour the water into the flour mixture, whisking until you have a thick, smooth batter that coats the chicken. Add a little more water if needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coat the chicken:<\/strong><br \/>\nDip each chicken piece into the batter, making sure it is completely coated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat the oil:<\/strong><br \/>\nPour enough oil into a deep, heavy skillet or Dutch oven to generously cover the bottom. Heat to about <strong>350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fry:<\/strong><br \/>\nCarefully place the battered chicken into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry in batches if necessary. Cook until deeply golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of <strong>165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C)<\/strong>, turning as needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drain:<\/strong><br \/>\nTransfer the fried chicken to a wire rack or a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve:<\/strong><br \/>\nLet it rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with your favorite sides.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Grandma\u2019s tip:<\/strong> Keep the oil temperature steady and don&#8217;t overcrowd the pan\u2014this helps the coating stay crispy instead of becoming greasy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Grandma\u2019s Fried Chicken Crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned, this classic fried chicken has that old-fashioned homemade flavor everyone loves.
