Interesting Facts About Wrights Chicken Farm Chicken Recipe
- Wrights Chicken Farm is a family-owned restaurant in Rhode Island that has been serving its famous chicken since 1952.
- The restaurant serves over 14,000 pounds of chicken every week.

Step 1: Brine the Chicken
The secret to juicy and flavorful chicken is in the brine. In a large pot, combine 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of kosher salt, 1/2 cup of sugar, and any other seasonings you prefer (such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary). Stir until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Add the chicken and let it brine for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 2: Coat the Chicken in Flour
Remove the chicken from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, mix together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully covered.
Step 3: Fry the Chicken
Heat up 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F), carefully add the chicken to the pan. Fry the chicken for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the chicken has cooled, it’s ready to serve. Pair it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or cornbread. Enjoy the juicy and flavorful chicken and savor every bite!
