Does anyone know how Popeye's Fried Chicken gets their crust so crispy and cracked looking. I have read that it is a Cajun recipe they got from somewhere, but I do not know any Cajun's whose fried chicken looks like that.
Phatch is correct They cook birds in pressure fryers with a flour. corn-flour batter with seasonings and a touch of starch. The pressure fryers cook much faster and save on cost of oil quite a bit.
Googled imho and was amazed that the answer came right up.
Thanks for the information on the pressure fryers.
