Delicious, Crunchy, Tender, Juicy, Fried Chicken!
Make a brine consisting of 4 cups water, 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup sugar, 8 to 10 peppercorns, 1 slice of lemon, 1 clove of garlic
and a couple bay leaves.
Bring the brine to a boil and simmer for a minute or 2 just to dissolve the salt and sugar. Cool it off. You can even toss in
a few ice cubes to help cool it.
Make as many batches or 1/2 batches you need to cover the chicken you are going to prepare.
Once the brine is cold pour it over your chicken and brine it in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours. It is OK as well to brine it over night.
Remove chicken from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels.
Let it rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
Dredge the chicken in a breading made of 1 cup bread flour,
1 cup rice flour, 1 tbsp. cornstarch, 1 tsp. pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt.
Fry the chicken in oil at 300 to 325 degrees until chicken is golden brown. Place the chicken on a baking rack (not paper towels) and finish it in the oven at 350 degrees until all the pieces reach 165 degrees.
Let it rest for about 20 to 25 minutes before serving because
it will hold heat for a long time.
Enjoy!
