Crispy Fried Chicken with Kalmes Superb Blend Breading Mix — Golden, Crunchy, Done Right

June 30, 2026

To make crispy fried chicken with Kalmes Superb Blend, dredge chicken in flour, dip in buttermilk, then press firmly into the breading mix. Let it rest 5 minutes, then fry at 350–375°F until golden brown. The result is a shatteringly crispy, restaurant-quality crust — the same recipe trusted by Midwest kitchens for five generations.

What ingredients do you need for crispy fried chicken?

You need bone-in or boneless chicken pieces, buttermilk or egg wash, and Kalmes Superb Blend Spiced Coater Breading Mix. The mix is a seasoned flour coating with bold, savory spice — no additional seasoning required. Oil for frying completes the list.

Chicken (thighs, drumsticks, or breast — bone-in preferred)
1 cup buttermilk or 2 eggs beaten with ¼ cup milk
1–2 cups Kalmes Superb Blend Breading Mix
Oil for frying (vegetable or peanut oil)

How do you apply Kalmes Superb Blend to chicken?

Press the breading firmly onto the chicken after dipping in buttermilk for full, even coverage. Resting the coated pieces for 5 minutes before cooking locks the crust in place and prevents it from falling off during frying.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels
Dip each piece in buttermilk or egg wash
Press firmly into Superb Blend — full coverage on all sides
Place on a rack and rest 5 minutes
For extra-thick crust: repeat dip + coat once more
