Classic Fried Chicken | Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

When I was a kid, I always asked my mom to make me fried chicken for my birthday. Hers was super juicy with a crust so crisp, it almost shattered when you bit into it. Yet it was hardly greasy at all. Fast-forward a few years (ehm), and it's still one of my favorite treats.
Sarah's Tip of the Day:
Watch the video and learn my trick for building a flawlessly crispy crust, plus I'll teach you how to get your fried chicken practically grease-free. Just like my mom's!
