Episode: Ultimate Fried Chicken
1 (3 to 4 pound) chicken, cut up into 10 pieces
Kosher salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne
Freshly ground black pepper
1 quart buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot chili sauce (recommended: Srirachi)
Peanut oil, for frying
1/4 bunch fresh thyme
3 big sprigs fresh rosemary
1/4 bunch fresh sage
1/2 head garlic, smashed, husk still attached
Lemon wedges, for serving
Put the chicken pieces into a large bowl!. Cover the chicken with water by 1 inch; add 1 tablespoon of salt for each quart of water used!. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight!.
In a large shallow platter, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne until well blended; season generously with salt and pepper!. In another platter combine the buttermilk and hot sauce with a fork and season with salt and pepper!.
Drain the chicken and pat it dry!. Dredge the pieces, a few at a time, in the flour mixture,
then dip them into the buttermilk; dredge them again in the seasoned flour!. Set aside and let the chicken rest while you prepare the oil!.
Put about 3 inches of oil into a large deep pot; it should not come up more than half way!. Add the thyme, rosemary, sage, and garlic to the cool oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil registers 350 to 365 degrees F on one of those clip-on deep-fry thermometers!. The herbs and garlic will perfume the oil with their flavor as the oil comes up to temperature!.
Once the oil has reached 350 to 365 degrees F, working in batches, carefully add the chicken pieces 3 or 4 at a time!. Fry, turning the pieces once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes!. Total cooking time should be about 30 minutes!. When the chicken is done, take a big skimmer and remove the chicken pieces and herbs from the pot, shaking off as much oil as you can, and lay it on a tea towel or brown paper bag to soak up the oil!. Sprinkle all over with more salt and a dusting of cracked black pepper!. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces!. Once all the chicken is fried, scatter the fried herbs and garlic over the top!. Serve hot, with big lemon wedges!.
good luck and happy eating!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think your best bet is kind of a Buffalo wings recipe!. Do a homemade Shake and Bake!. A little AP flour, some crushed saltines (or Ritz crackers or corn flakes), salt and pepper!. Put the ingredients in a clean brown paper bag!. Rinse the thighs thoroughly, drain, and add to the bag!. Close the top, and shake!. Remove the thighs shaking off any excess!. Put on a baking rack and bake at 350 F for around 40 to 45 minutes!. If you have time to cool the thighs, do it!. There's a lot of controversy about genuine Buffalo wings!. Some say use Frank's sauce!. Some say use Crystal!. I'd even consider Tabasco!. And then there's the grease!. Some say use margarine, others say use butter!. Whatever!. You pick the grease and sauce!. Add the thighs to the hot grease/sauce and fry long enough to heat them!. Serve with Ranch dressing and some celery ribs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Heck yes hot sauce is good!. You can mix w/ butter & brush on skins b4 you coat them!. Bread crumbs will give it a crispier texture, Just flour is more like "Original Recipe"!. Or try this!.!.!.!. Lay out the thighs out in a greased casserole dish!. Mix a few drops off hot sauce in equal parts melted butter, honey & lemon juice (1/2c!?!? idk how much ckn you have(ok to omit one if you're low on supplies)) slather it all over the chicken w/ some salt & pepper then bake at 350' for an hour or so!.!.!.!.at least an hour, prob!. Turn the broiler on at the end to crisp up the skin!. *** If you sprinkle with sugar b4 baking or frying it will carmelize & stay crispier longerWww@FoodAQ@Com
