To boost the flavor and texture of your fried chicken, simply incorporate a whisked egg into a can of condensed cream of chicken soup before combining it with the chicken batter.

The fat content of the soup will help keep the chicken moist during the frying process while the thickness of the soup and egg serve as a binder for the flour and cornstarch.

Using this trick will result in ultra-juicy chicken drumsticks. Plus, since most canned chicken soups are already seasoned, it’ll add an extra depth of flavor to the chicken.
