It’s no secret that we love fried chicken here at Disney Dining. Fried chicken is an absolute staple. It honestly should have its own food group. In our opinion, Disney fried chicken is second only to grandma’s fried chicken (and trust us, it’s a very close race). Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, by a very slim margin, wins as our favorite fried chicken at Walt Disney World so imagine our absolute delight when Disney Parks Blog released Hoop-Dee-Do’s famous fried chicken recipe today! I don’t think we need to tell you what we’re having for dinner tonight… Grated Fresh Ginger

The chefs at Hoop-Dee-Doo have the daunting task of creating 800 lbs of fried chicken a night!!!!! That’s a lot of fried chicken but they are so excited to do it after their long closure due to Covid. Julie Hrywnak, chef at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground says, “Our team was so excited to get back in the kitchen and whip up our beloved fried chicken once again”. 

Want to recreate this amazing dish yourself? Now you can! My son, who is reading over my shoulder as I write, just said “mom, no one wants to read a bunch of stuff about a recipe, just get to the recipe already”! He’s not wrong, so without further ado:

Ingredients- BRINE: 3 cups cold water 2 tablespoons garlic powder 4 tablespoons coarse salt 1 medium chicken, cut into 2 legs, 2 breasts, 2 thighs, and 2 wings

FRIED CHICKEN: Canola oil, for frying Reserved brined chicken 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup cornstarch 1 tablespoon coarse salt 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon onion powder 2 teaspoons ground white pepper Directions-  FOR BRINE:

Some tips from Chef Julie:
