ingredients

1 egg, beaten
2 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon msg (monosodium glutamate-you can use Accent Flavor Enhancer)
6 cups Crisco cooking oil
2 frying chickens, with skin, each cut into 6 pieces

directions

In a small bowl combine the egg and milk.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining four dry ingredients.
Dip each piece of chicken into the milk mixture until fully moistened. Roll the moistened chicken into the flour mixture until completely coated.
Pour the oil into the pressure fryer and heat over medium heat to about 400.
In groups of 4 or 5, drop the chicken pieces into the oil and lock the lid into place. When the steam begins shooting through the pressure release, set the timer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, release the pressure according to manufacturer's instruct ions, and remove the chicken to paper towels or a metal rack to drain.
Repeat with remaining chicken.
TIDBIT: If you prefer not to use MSG, you may substitute an additional 1/2 TBS. of salt. Be aware however that using MSG produces the best clone of KFC's fried chicken.

How do I find out if My pressure cooker is designed to use to fry chicken

Wow! Very bland for a KFC copycat recipe! There are many KFC copycat recipes that actually use the "11 herbs and spices" approach with much better results. Actually, there are no spices in this recipe besides black pepper. Salt and MSG don't count, do they? I cooked this in a Pressure Magic, (also know as a Fagor Classic, clamp-style pressure cooker, 6L), pressure fryer. It's commonly sold at Fairs, Boat Shows, RV Shows, and they always demonstrate "pressure frying" during their shows, and their online video). The chicken came out perfectly crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside! It really wasn't bad at all. However, it tastes just like good "generic" home-cooked fried chicken, and NOT Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I've been doing a very similar recipe for years, super KFC taste. I've used a traditional pressure cooker, no issues what so ever, however to crisp it up a bit I leave it in the oil several minutes after pressure has dropped.
