Christmas Fried Chicken

Leave a Comment / Poultry / By Amanda and Tim / February 9, 2020 February 9, 2020

This is a tasty Christmas fried chicken recipe that is sure to please. Just follow the recipe below to get started on this festive recipe.

Christmas fried chicken — I get 3 bowls, or containers
1st bowl: flour, salt, & pepper
2nd bowl: beat eggs
3rd bowl: Christmas rice krispies slightly crushed, flour, & Cajun spice.

Chicken deep frying — Dump all pieces of chicken separately into bowls 1, 2, & 3. Once all are cooked get your oil up to temperature. I like it around 350-375F. Today we used a cast iron pan.

Finished Christmas fried chicken — Deep fry roughly 6 minutes per side. We don’t eat fried chicken too much but I always make a batch of this around Christmas time. Let us know what you think!

We used this cast iron chicken fryer in this recipe:
