But the saturated fats! Those are worse for you than eggs! Lol

@@Cd3 are you...nevermind

I hope you didn't get in trouble! You can use either one, my son doesn't like coconut, so if he's around, then I use refined oil, but my preference is to use unrefined as much as possible.

@@GregFleischaker Is the unrefined coconut oil also virgin coconut oil ?

@@bungarin4041 I believe any company can call their coconut oil "virgin" because it doesn't mean anything, there are no regulations about what makes a coconut oil virgin or not, so I don't even pay attention to that labeling, I look for organic and then buy refined or unrefined as needed or desired.

I'm sure it drops a bit, but the electric skillet will try to regulate itself and come back up to temperature, doesn't seem to mess the recipe up too much.

Does the fried chicken taste different?

I generally use refined oil, which should not smell as much of coconut, but it shouldn't smell off or bad either. If coconut oil isn't working for you I also like avocado oil, which is very neutral.

It will for sure if you use unrefined coconut oil, but I use refined oil to make sure it does not taste like coconut.

This is what we use. www.amazon.com/dp/B01FCMUFK0?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

they both cook the chicken just fine, but the biggest difference is that unrefined smells and tastes much more of coconut, and refined oil does not, not everyone in my family is in love with coconut, so I use refined oil, just to be nice - and I use coconut oil because I don't like using the industrial overly-processed oils, like Canola or Crisco.

Why fast food fried chicken has a distinct smell while frying???

If you use unrefined coconut oil, then yes, it will taste like coconut. But if you use refined coconut oil, then no, it won't taste like coconut. I almost always use refined coconut oil when making this recipe.

I do not wash the chicken off before brining it in the buttermilk.

Greg Fleischaker das nasty doe

Aimal Popal actually you’re not supposed to “wash” chicken before frying it.

Why would you wash chicken? This aint the 1930's

Lol never wash chicken

Hes white

@@teekotrain6845 LMAOOAOAO

Why tf would anyone wash chicken/meat? Lmao

Farm chickens?

No, I don't wash my chicken. Or pork. Or beef. Instead, I cook it. That way I don't splash dirty chicken juice all over my kitchen when washing it, and the high temperature of cooking will kill whatever it is that people are worried about and trying to wash off of their chicken.

Homeskillet, I like it, my older brothers used to call me Homeskillet! I've tried it both ways, but since I've seasoned the buttermilk for the brine, and make sure to drag a fair amount of the brine back into the flour when coating each piece, the chicken gets decently seasoned already. If you'd really like to kick it up, by all means, season the flour in addition to the buttermilk brine.

I'm afraid I don't, I'm sorry, but I'm sure there are a bunch out there!

first thing i thought P. 😬😬😬 my mama would flip

No need to wash chicken. The heat kills bacteria.

Yeah, it's fried chicken, it can't all be healthy!

I obviously do, if we are talking about garlic powder, and I've had zero complaints over the years from friends and family alike. Maybe you don't put garlic on fried chicken. And just check the internet if you think I'm a weirdo, soooo many people use garlic powder in their seasoning.

@@GregFleischaker I never said anything about you being a weirdo and idc what a lot of people do. A lot of people think the world is 70% LOL. Ijs I understand garlic on baked chicken but putting garlic on fried Chicken it's just blasphemous lol. Don't worry you're not alone. Do it with the same group of people who might put ketchup on their eggs. Just kidding about ketchup parts.

@@donnie8.12 haha, I'm sticking with my garlic powder and fried chicken, it's damn good, but I am not one of those that puts ketchup on eggs, even if I may look like it!

@@GregFleischaker I don't know what you look like lol. I don't need to know. It's irrelevant. But I'm going to try it one day. I tried it before years ago it just didn't feel right lol.

These days the water is just as contaminated
