List of Ingredients




1/2 c buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1 c flour or panko bread crumbs
2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1 (4-5 lb) chicken cut up
3 c vegetable oil
1/2 stk butter
2 qt cold water
1/2 c kosher salt


Recipe



To make the brine: Stir kosher salt into water until dissolved. Place chicken parts in a nonreactive bowl or pot; add enough brine to cover completely. Refrigerate up to 8 hours. Drain the brined chicken and rinse out the bowl the brine was in. Mix buttermilk and egg; return the chicken to the bowl, pour milk mixture over. Cover and refrigerate for another 4 hours.

Meanwhile, prepare the oil for frying by putting oil and butter in pan, I prefer a deep fryer . Cook over low heat for 30 minutes, skimming as needed, until the butter ceases to throw off foam, just before frying, increase the temperature to medium-high.

In another bowl mix all dry ingredients, roll chicken in dry batter. Using tongs, slip some of the chicken pieces, skin side down, into the hot fat until chicken is golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan or the cooking oil will cool.

Drain on wire rack or crumpled paper towels, and serve.
