Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 2 h 15 min
Cuisine: American, Southern
Ingredients: 2 C, pickle juice (we use Best Maid); 4 chicken thighs, trimmed (you can sub white meat, but I prefer the flavor of dark. If you go with breast meat I like to slice it in half so it isn't so thick for frying).; 4 buns, buttered; about 2 cups Flour; and 1 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch; 2 T sweet heat seasoning; 2 large eggs; 1 C milk; 1 T your favorite hot sauce; 1/2 C hot frying oil (use this from your pan after you fry - or sub melted lard)

Instructions

Step 1

marinate chicken in pickle juice for at least 2-3 hours

Step 2

Prep your chicken for frying

Step 3

Make a station with a pan of chicken and then 2 medium bowls where we will place the chicken into the dredge, then the egg wash, then the dredge again.

Step 4

Bowl #1 - flour, cornstarch and sweet heat seasoning.

Step 5

Bowl # 2 - Mix the eggs, milk and hot sauce.

Step 6

Take each piece of chicken and coat it in the Chicken Fried Breading dredge. Then soak it completely in the wash. Then coat it thoroughly in the dredge again.

Step 7

Next slowly place the chicken into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. We use our Thermoworks Instant Read Thermometer to make sure each piece of chicken reaches at least 165 internal temperature.

Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack to cool and allow the oil to run off.
