Double Dipped Crispy Fried Chicken [+Video]

A white dinner plate containing golden brown fried chicken breast with broccoli and a silver container of dipping sauce on the side. There is a fork with a slice of chicken on it, resting on the plate. There is a lemon that is cut in half in the background.

Double-dipped, crispy fried chicken is a crowd favorite with its extra crunch, juicy texture, and incredible flavor. Serve it with creamy coleslaw and warm cornbread for the perfect Southern meal.

Southern friends, I swear y’all are the masters of comfort food. Nobody does it quite like the South—especially when it comes to fried food. And let’s be real, Southern fried chicken is in a league of its own.

Growing up in a home with a dad from Oregon and a mom from Idaho, fried chicken wasn’t really ever made. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t eat it.

Looking back, this is really quite ridiculous and a little embarrassing to admit, but whenever we went out and had a picnic, we would get fried chicken from… well, from KFC. There, I said it.

Oh gosh, lol, it’s kind of funny if you think about it. I mean, my mom cooked all of our meals, and we practically never ate out, but then we go on a picnic and we take a bucket of fried chicken. Bahahaha.

Southern Fried Chicken

It’s crunchy on the outside and with juicy divine chicken underneath. This is the best fried chicken. It is our absolute favorite and totally irresistible. We use tender chicken breasts, but you could easily swap them for thighs, drumsticks, and even wings!

Southern food is a favorite around here, like our smoked beans, southern cheese crackers, and southern corn bread (which is the best corn bread EVER.)

Ground Beef Stroganoff Ingredients

Despite how luxurious the beef stroganoff sauce tastes, it’s actually made with everyday ingredients you have in your pantry! Here’s what you’ll need to make this ground beef dinner recipe:

  • Egg Noodles: We like the texture and flavor of the egg noodles with the sauce but any pasta will work fine.
  • Ground Beef: We prefer 80/20 or 85/15 for maximum flavor.
  • Onions: a yellow onion works great and dice it small
  • Seasonings: Garlic Powder, Paprika, Salt, Black Pepper, Dried Parsley Flakes, Onion Powder
  • Thyme: We prefer fresh thyme but if you need to use dried, use 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Butter: helps sauté the mushrooms and then mixes with the flour to create a roux for the sauce
  • Cremini Mushrooms: sliced thin
  • Flour: just regular all purpose flour is all you need
  • Beef Broth: creates the base for the sauce, use low sodium beef broth if you want to reduce the salt
  • Worcestershire Sauce: adds rich umami flavor
  • Sour Cream: adds creaminess
  • Fresh Parsley: used for garnish

The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Ground Beef Stroganoff From Scratch

You are going to love me when you see how easy this beef stroganoff recipe is! It’s ready in as much time as it takes to boil noodles!

  1. Start your egg noodles cooking in salted water.
  2. Sauté the onions in a large skillet or shallow dutch oven over medium high heat on the stove top and then add the seasonings. Cook until browned and then drain the grease and remove everything to a bowl.
  3. Add the butter to the pan and then add mushrooms to caramelize. Then add the flour and stir for a minute or so to cook the flour taste out.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire and whisk everything together. Simmer a few minutes to thicken. Add in the sour cream and stir everything together.
    • PRO TIP: You’ve just made homemade cream of mushroom soup and it’s so much better made from scratch!
  5. Serve over egg noodles in a large pan and top with fresh parsley.
