    15 Ways To Make Fried Chicken

    by Kathy Owen · Jun 13, 2025 · Updated: Jul 9, 2025 · "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases"

    Fried chicken is often cooked in a deep fryer, but there are other ways to cook "fried" chicken. The easy fried chicken recipes I'm sharing today use various cooking methods, including pan-frying and baking in the oven, which is the healthier option. 

    We have everything from our favorite Southern fried chicken recipe to a copycat KFC fried chicken recipe. If you have gluten intolerance, there's also a gluten-free option in there, so no need to skip this decadent comfort food. We all deserve a treat every once in a while!
