REMOVE chicken from brine PLACE one piece chicken at a time into the breading mixture container SEAL container firmly SHAKE chicken gently in all motions to thoroughly coat chicken until evenly and generously breaded PLACE breaded chicken piece onto a rack to rest REPEAT with remaining pieces chicken ALLOW breaded chicken to absorb the breading for a few minutes before frying.MEASURE the BASE MIXTURE and 11 SECRET HERBS AND SPICES into a large re-sealable container BREAK up any clumps (and nonfat milk granules) using the back of a spoon SEAL the container with mixture SHAKE to mix well OPEN container and add the BREADING FLOUR (2 cups unbleached bread flour), then seal the container again SHAKE well until thoroughly combined.NOTE: FOR A QUICKER STOVETOP MARINATION METHOD, PIERCE CHICKEN PIECES WELL WITH A FORK, THEN HEAT THE MARINADE WITH CHICKEN, COVERED, OVER LOW HEAT UNTIL HEATED THROUGH, TURNING ONCE). RINSE and blot chicken CUT chicken into 8 pieces (or 10 pieces with breast portions cut in half) MIX 2 quarts (8 cups) cups cold water with 2 tablespoons Morton Lite Salt (OR 2 tablespoons fine sea salt), and 2 teaspoons Accent seasoning in a large container with an accompanying lid, until dissolved ADD chicken pieces COVER and transfer to refrigerator MARINATE chicken at least 4 hours in refrigerator.FILTER, THEN REFRIGERATE TIGHTLY SEALED TO YIELD 6-12 FRYING BATCHES, REPLENISHING OIL AS NEEDED. FRYING FAT NOTES: ALWAYS BEGIN WITH FRESH VEGETABLE OIL. BONELESS CHICKEN COOKS MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN BONE-IN CHICKEN (BE CAREFUL TO NOT OVERCOOK!). BRINING BONELESS CHICKEN SHOULD BE DONE MUCH MORE QUICKLY (NO MORE THAN 45 MINUTES, TO AVOID OVER-SATURATION OF SALT). CHICKEN NOTES: DO NOT DOUBLE-BREAD CHICKEN SINCE IT PLACES AN EXCESS OF SODIUM AND SPICES ONTO FINAL PRODUCT AND COMPROMISES AUTHENTICITY (IF YOU INSIST ON DOUBLE-BREADING, DIFFUSE THE BREADING MIX FIRST BY ADDING A LITTLE MORE UNSEASONED FLOUR). I RECOMMEND MCCORMICK BRAND TELLICHERRY BLACK PEPPER AND GROUND GINGER, SPICE ISLANDS BRAND GROUND SAGE AND CARDAMOM, SPICE APPEAL BRAND GROUND SAVORY, AND WILLIAMS-SONOMA BRAND GROUND TAHITIAN VANILLA BEAN. USE A PEPPER MILL TO MEDIUM-GRIND TELLICHERRY PEPPERCORNS. FINELY GRIND REQUIRED HERBS AND SPICES SEPARATELY IN A CLEAN SPICE MILL OR COFFEE GRINDER. YOU MAY SUBSTITUTE EGG WHITE POWDER WITH CORNSTARCH. EGG WHITE POWDER IS SOLD IN HEALTH FOOD STORES. MSG (ACCENT SEASONING) IS IN THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL RECIPE, BUT MAY BE OMITTED IF NECESSARY.
NOTES: FOR AUTHENTIC RESULTS, PREPARE RECIPE EXACTLY AS DIRECTED.
