I love fried chicken, I mean who doesn’t! Even though I’m not a huge fan of frying, I make the exception for fried chicken. I’ve shared a few fried chicken recipes over the years on my blog, but it wasn’t until recently that I learned from a good friend how to make the crispiest fried chicken. I now make my fried chicken with a secret ingredient and that’s Argo® Corn Starch! You can get the crispiest chicken with Argo® Corn Starch.​ Making a simple change by replacing half the flour that I coat the chicken in, with Argo® Corn Starch​ makes a noticeable difference. When you bite into these chicken wings, you can hear the crunch and it also has a light airy texture and that’s because of the Argo® Corn Starch​! I’m not stranger to using Argo® Corn Starch​ in the kitchen as it’s a pantry staple. It’s great to thicken stews, soups and gravy and is commonly used in Asian stir fry. Argo® Corn Starch​ is not just for cooking – you can use it in baking and even outside of the kitchen in slime or sidewalk chalk!   Crispy Fried Chicken is great on its own but my husband and I always eat our fried chicken topped with honey and hot sauce so I created a honey hot sauce to go with the chicken. You can coat the chicken with the honey hot sauce or serve it on the side. The sweetness from the honey cools the heat from the hot sauce. You can add more or less of either ingredient depending on how sweet or spicy you like it! The honey hot sauce is the perfect complement to this crispiest fried chicken.
