Fried Chicken - Wolfgang Puck BDFR0010 Bistro collection Manual

Care and Cleaning, Cont.
Remove the nonstick frying bowl. If you are storing oil in the bowl,
cover with plastic wrap. If not, drain the oil into another covered
container and wash the bowl with warm, soapy water.
Cover and refrigerate used oil for up to two weeks. Discard oil if it
becomes thick or rancid. Change the oil when it is a dark color, smells
bad or there is a bad taste in the food. The covered deep fryer bowl
containing oil may be refrigerated.
Important: Do not immerse the deep fryer
base, control panel or power cord in water or
other liquid. Do not place the deep fryer base,
control panel or power cord in the
dishwasher.
Reassemble the deep fryer for storage. Note: Always store the deep
fryer with the handle in the lowered position.
There is a filter system in the lid to absorb odor. The charcoal filter
should be replaced after every 25 uses or more often when frying
foods with strong odors, such as onions or fish. Remove the filter
cover and replace the charcoal filter with a new one. The mesh filter
is permanent and should be washed in hot, sudsy water after every
25 uses or as needed. Dry completely before replacing.

FRIED CHICKEN

In Vienna, fried chicken is always served with a salad of mixed greens, cucumbers,
tomatoes, potatoes, etc. I must say, as a kid, I preferred mashed potatoes.
Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 (2 1/2 pound) chickens
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups flour
3 eggs
4 cups panko or bread crumbs
1 cup parsley leaves
2 lemons
METHOD
1. Cut each chicken into 8 pieces. Remove the skin but not the bones. Season
generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat vegetable oil to 300°. On three separate soup plates, put the flour, eggs and
bread crumbs, and dip all chicken pieces first in flour, then eggs, and finally bread
crumbs. Shake off excess crumbs.
3. Fry chicken pieces for about 12 to 14 minutes until nice and brown. Turn after 7
minutes. Drain on paper towels.
4. Fry the parsley for about 30 seconds. Remove, drain on paper towels, and
sprinkle over chicken.
PRESENTATION
Divide onto 4 plates. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with half a lemon.
