How do you pan fry poultry?

• A. dredge product, ¼ inch in fat, always serve the side that was cooked place it facing up
• B. Dip in batter and deep fry until crisp
• C. Brush with oil and grill over high heat
• D. Boil briefly then finish in a pan

Answer: (A)

Pan frying poultry relies on cooking in a shallow layer of hot fat to crisp the coating while the meat cooks through. To do this well, you coat the poultry so the coating adheres and browns nicely. Then use about a quarter inch of fat in the pan—just enough to come up the sides a bit—so the pieces fry rather than boil, allowing even heat transfer and a golden crust. Turn once so both sides cook evenly and finish with a crisp surface that’s presentable and flavorful on top. This method distinguishes pan frying from deep-frying (where the food is fully submerged), grilling (direct dry heat over a flame), or finishing after boiling, which aren’t the same cooking technique.
