Better Than Best Fried Chicken

“Simply delicious fried chicken using, of all things, cream of chicken soup! The other key ingredient is cornstarch. The end result will surprise you. It will be perfect--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and loaded with mouthwatering flavor. This chicken will definitely be requested on a regular basis by family and friends!”

Great Fried Chicken. I have been looking for a dependable recipe that provides great crispy crust, and has a great flavor. My search is over. I did not change a thing from the recipe although I did use chicken with the skin still on. This is my new standard for fried chicken.

My sister and I made this and it was delicious, moist yet crispy. I didn't have corn starch, so replaced that with a cup of crushed croutons (Fresh Gourmet Caesar croutons). This added extra flavor and crunch. We also fried it in sunflower oil which made it all the more delicious. Next time, we are going to add a little cayenne or crushed red pepper for some extra kick.

The coating that stayed on the chicken had excellent texture, though as other reviewers have noted, it was a bit on the bland side. Tossing the soup-coated chicken in a bag with the flour worked remarkably poorly - much more soup stayed in the bag than stayed on the chicken. The next time I try this recipe, I'll just mix all of the coating ingredients together and use this as a batter-fried recipe. If that doesn't work well, simply dredging the soup-coated chicken in a bowl of the flour/cornstarch mixture should work better than the bag-toss technique.

I tried this recipe for the first time tonight. I have tried unsuccessfully in the past to make a good, tasty and crispy fried chicken. This recipe is amazing! I followed the recipe like it was written; the only thing I changed due to some suggestions was I put the spices diretly in the soup marinade. I also added more spice than was suggested. I deep fried the chicken until golden brown and then put it in the oven for a few minutes just to finish it off. I paired it with ranch dressing as a dip. My husband and I both loved it and I will definitely be making this again. Thank you Candy!

This was really messy but fried chicken always is however you make it. It came out really tasty and crispy,and the batter stayed on good. I made it with a family pack of drumsticks in my kettle cooker (deep fryer). I will double the spices in the dry mix next time,but it's a great recipe!

I thought the chicken was fairly delicious. It had a nice crunchy crust and seasoned just right. I also seasoned my chicken with a little pepper and garlic powder, leaving out the salt since the soup will be salty enough.
