With a fryer

Pan fried in Vegetable oil.
I bought a deep fryer solely to fry chicken, but Fuck it up every time.
Pan fried is the way to go for me

Won't the butter burn, though?
It is my life mission to perfect fried chicken, and am open to all suggestions
Pan fried with oil or crisco.
I've fucked around with pan fried chicken for many years and learned the following:
Expect the oil to only last long enough to fry what you can initially fit in the pan. If you wanna fry more, then get ready to add more oil.
Don't activate the flour's gluten. It can result in crispiness, sure, but the end result is just strange.
Just my experiences in experimenting so far.

adding the oil (especially a neutral one with a high smoke point) stops the butter from burning
if you haven't, I would definitely suggest marinating in butter milk - it makes the chicken so delicious and juicy :x

>Using panko for fried chicken
You fucked up. Panko goes on nuggets if you're going to use it at all.

thats a nice opinion i guess
I brine first, salt, sugar, garlic, onion, rosemary, cheap hot sauce, for roughly 6 hours.
Then drain and let thoroughly dry. I usually put the pieces on paper towels and let it sit in the fridge for about 2 hours.
Then I marinate in buttermilk for another 6 hours or so, or overnight.
Then remove the chicken from the buttermilk, beat 2 eggs in the buttermilk, then put the chicken back in.
Season some flour to your liking. I like a little celery seed in mine, in addition to all the standard shit. Also house of autry chicken breader is acceptable.
Then deep fry. I crank my oil to 365 to start. Don't over crowd because the chicken is going to bring your oil temp down to far if there are too many pieces. Try to maintain 350 deg for the rest of the cooking time. About 7-10 mins.
Also get small chicken pieces. A huge chicken breast will never fry right. Where I am I have to buy whole chickens and cut them up my self. I never see them pre cut with breasts small enough to fry effectively.
