Brinedovenfriedchicken Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup water with remaining brining ingredients in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring just until salt and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Combine brine mixture with remaining cold water in a large bowl or deep baking dish. Add chicken to bowl, making sure chicken is covered with the brining liquid. Store in fridge at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Remove chicken from brining liquid and pat dry. Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and red pepper flakes in a shallow dish. Whisk eggs in another shallow dish. Coat chicken in flour mixture, then eggs, and again in flour mixture. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a cooling rack.
• Heat oil to 350 degrees in a large pot. Working in 2 batches, fry chicken for 15 minutes, turning once, until chicken is deep golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

• Mix cold water, kosher salt, and honey in a large bowl; stir until salt dissolves. Add chicken breasts, and weigh them down with a plate to keep them completely submerged. Cover entire bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Remove bowl from refrigerator; drain and dry chicken. Pour buttermilk over chicken in a large bowl. Set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Combine flour, black pepper, garlic salt, onion salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
• Coat each chicken breast in flour mixture until well covered on all sides; place flour-coated chicken breasts on a cooling rack to dry for 15 minutes.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Transfer chicken to a cooling rack; allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In the morning, combine 2 tablespoons of salt with 1 cup of water in a large bowl and stir to dissolve salt.
• Add chicken to bowl and cover with water.
• Place ice cubes over all and refrigerate until ready to use.

• Remove chicken from brine and pat dry completely.
• Place oil in roasting pan large enough to add chicken in one layer.
• Combine flour and seasonings in a plastic bag and add chicken pieces two at a time and shake until coated.
• As you take them out of the bag, shake them to remove excess flour.
• Lay chicken pieces in roasting pan, skin side down and oven fry until brown and crisp, about 40 minutes to an hour, turning once.
• Using a spatula, remove chicken pieces from pan onto paper towels to drain.

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag set in a baking dish. Pour the pickle juice into the bag. Seal the bag and massage gently. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and mustard in a medium bowl; set aside. Pulse the rice cereal in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the cereal crumbs, panko, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the crumb mixture is a deep golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the garlic powder, celery seeds and dill. Let cool to room temperature.
• Place a rimmed baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the pickle juice and pat dry with paper towels. One piece at a time, dip the chicken in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat in the crumb mixture, pressing with your hands to adhere.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and brush with the remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Place the chicken on the baking sheet and bake until golden and a thermometer inserted into the breasts registers 160 degrees F and the thighs 170 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve with ranch dressing.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together cider and salt until salt dissolves. Add chicken pieces and enough water to coat and soak 1 hour in the refrigerator. Chicken should be completely submerged in brine.
• In a large pot, heat vegetable shortening until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 325 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cayenne and black pepper. In a paper bag, shake together flour and cornstarch. Drain chicken from brine and dip in batches first in egg mixture then in flour mixture to coat. Set on wire rack to let coating sit for 10 minutes. In 2 batches, fry chicken until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the piece. Remove from oil to drain on paper towel-lined plate.
