How to judge whether fried chicken legs are cooked

You can judge whether the chicken legs are cooked by observing their appearance. Generally, the appearance of the chicken legs is golden and crispy, without transparent or reddish flesh, which means they are basically cooked. However, it is not enough to just look at the appearance. You need to look at the inside of the chicken legs together to thoroughly judge whether the chicken legs are cooked.

When frying chicken legs, you can peel the inside of the chicken leg to see if there are any blood or redness. If there are, it means that the inside of the chicken leg is not cooked through and needs to be fried slowly over low heat. When checking the inside, it is recommended to choose the bone, which is more difficult to cook than other parts. So if this part is cooked, then the whole chicken leg is basically cooked.

What should I do if the fried chicken legs are always undercooked?

Many people put the chicken legs directly into the oil pan and fry them. When the surface is burnt, they take them out, but the inside is not cooked yet. Coating the surface of the chicken legs with batter can prevent the surface of the chicken legs from being burnt, extend the frying time, and allow the chicken legs to be fully fried.

The oil temperature for frying chicken legs does not need to be too high. You should put them in the pan when the oil temperature is 60% hot, and fry them slowly over medium-low heat. If the oil temperature is too high, it will easily cause the outside to be burnt and the inside to be uncooked.

If the chicken legs you chose are too big and difficult to fry, you can use smaller chicken wings instead, which are easier to fry thoroughly.

Notes on fried chicken legs

1. When frying chicken legs, you must pay attention to the oil, because the chicken legs will contain moisture and the oil temperature is relatively hot. You must put the chicken legs in slowly to avoid oil splashing, so as to prevent damage to human skin.

2. Fry the chicken legs slowly over low heat. It is best not to fry them over high heat. Frying over high heat can easily result in the inside of the chicken legs being uncooked, but the outside being burnt. Such chicken legs will not taste good.
