Popeye's Copycat Fried Chicken

With this Popeye's Copycat Fried Chicken recipe you can now replicate the great Popeye's chicken flavor at home.

Ingredients:
  • 3 lbs of chicken pieces (with bones and skin)
  • 3 cups of buttermilk
  • 2 Tablespoons of Louisiana hot sauce
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon of white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • Oil for frying (canola or peanut oil)
  • 2 large bowls
  • Deep fryer
Directions:
  • In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk and Louisiana hot sauce
  • Add the chicken pieces to the mixture, making sure they're all soaked
  • Put in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to get maximum flavor
  • When you're ready to cook, take the chicken out of the fridge and let it chill at room temperature for about 20 minutes
  • Heat up the frying oil in a deep fryer or a large pot until it's around 350 F
  • While the oil is heating, get another big bowl and mix together the flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, white pepper, black pepper, and salt
  • Take each piece of chicken and coat it well in the flour mixture
  • Shake off any extra flour and set the chicken aside
  • Fry the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer or pot
  • It should take about 12 to 15 minutes for each batch, depending on how big the pieces are
  • Look for that golden-brown color and make sure the internal temperature hits 165 F
  • Take the chicken pieces out of the oil and let them rest on a wire rack to get rid of any extra oil
  • Give them about 10 minutes to cool down before serving
Enjoy!

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
