Recipe for Excellent Fried Chicken
Prep Time: 20 min; Cook Time: 20 min; Brining Time: 12 hrs; Total Time: 12 hrs, 40 mins
Ingredients:
- For the brine:
- 1 cup water
- 3 TBSP sea salt
- ½ cup white vinegar
- 1 cup ice
- 3 TBSP minced garlic
- 1 quart buttermilk
- 1 TBSP hot sauce
- 1 chicken, divided into eight parts
- For the breading:
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 3 TBSP paprika
- 1 ½ TBSP sea salt
- 1 TBSP black pepper
- For frying:5 cups vegetable or canola oil
- 1 cup bacon fat (Knowledgeable cooks know how to save this valuable commodity.)
Instructions:
- Create the brine by boiling the water, salt, and vinegar in a small pot until the salt is dissolved. Quickly remove the mixture from the heat and add the ice cubes. Pour this into a plastic bag; add the buttermilk, garlic, and hot sauce. Whisk the mixture in the bag, or close the bag and shake it to mix the contents.
- Add the eight pieces of chicken to the bag, ensuring that the brine covers them. Allow this bag of brining chicken to rest in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
- Next, you’ll mix the breading, thoroughly combining the flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Drain the brine into a bowl to use while dredging the chicken.
- Double-dredge the chicken one piece at a time. To do so, you’ll coat a piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shake off the excess, submerge it in the brine, and dredge it again through the breading.
- When the chicken is ready to fry, heat the oil and bacon fat in a cast iron skillet (or other frying receptacle) to 350°.
- Cook in batches until the pieces reach 165° and have a beautiful golden skin. Expect an average of 8 minutes on each side.
