The copycat, brined chicken in a seasoned flour dredge, fried crisp.
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil 2 quarts
- Salt 1 tbsp
- Black pepper 1 tsp
- Plain flour 1.5 cup
- Dried oregano 0.5 tsp
- Paprika 1 tbsp
- Fresh basil 0.5 tsp
- Sage 0.5 tsp
- Whole chicken 1 whole
- Eggs 1
- Allspice 0.5 tsp
- Brown sugar 1 tbsp
- Chilli powder 1 tsp
- Dried marjoram 0.5 tsp
- Garlic powder 0.5 tsp
- Onion powder 2 tsp
- Celery salt 0.5 tsp
Method
- Preheat fryer to 350°F.
- Thoroughly mix together all the spice mix ingredients.
- Combine spice mix with flour, brown sugar and salt.
- Dip chicken pieces in egg white to lightly coat them, then transfer to flour mixture.
- Turn a few times and make sure the flour mix is really stuck to the chicken.
- Repeat with all the chicken pieces.
- Let chicken pieces rest for 5 minutes so crust has a chance to dry a bit.
- Fry chicken in batches.
- Breasts and wings should take 12-14 minutes, and legs and thighs will need a few more minutes.
- Chicken pieces are done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
- Let chicken drain on a few paper towels when it comes out of the fryer.
- Serve hot.
