THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 10 pieces. Cut off the wings. Remove the legs and separate the thighs. Remove and discard the backbone. Cut the breast into 2 pieces and then cut each breast in half.
• Mix 4 teaspoons salt, the brown sugar and baking powder in a small bowl until completely combined and no lumps of sugar remain. Sprinkle the salt mixture all over the chicken pieces. Place the seasoned chicken on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Wrap the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 3 hours and up to 24. (Overnight works best.)
• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and 1/4 cup salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and eggs in another large bowl. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, turning to coat and packing it into any crevices. Shake to remove any excess and return to the rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Pour 6 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture into the seasoned flour and work it in with your fingers; it should feel like sand with some clumps. (These clumps will give the chicken a crispy, shaggy crust.) Dip the dredged chicken into the remaining buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then pack the moistened flour firmly onto the chicken. Very gently shake off any excess and return to the rack. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.
• Pour enough oil into a large heavy pot to come halfway up the sides. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the pot. Heat the oil over high heat until the thermometer registers 300 degrees F. Working in 3 batches, fry the chicken, turning often and adjusting the heat to maintain the temperature, until deep golden brown, about 8 minutes for the wings, 10 minutes for the legs and 12 minutes for the thighs and halved breasts (an uncut breast will take 15 to 18 minutes). Transfer to a clean wire rack set over paper towels to drain.

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a rack on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spray the rack generously with cooking spray.
• Finely grind the bagel chips and cereal together in a food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a gallon-size plastic bag. Add the oil, salt, cayenne, paprika and ground pepper and toss to mix thoroughly. Whisk the light mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together in a medium shallow bowl.
• Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and turn to coat all the pieces evenly. Drop the chicken into the plastic bag, seal and shake until each piece is evenly coated. Place the coated pieces on the prepared rack. Spray the chicken pieces evenly with cooking spray.
• Bake until the coating crisps and browns and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pieces registers 160 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed stockpot to a depth of 1-inch and heat to 360 degrees F on a thermometer.
• Working in batches, carefully place several pieces of chicken in the oil and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until the coating is a light golden brown (it will continue to brown in the oven). Don't crowd the pieces. Remove the chicken from the oil and place each piece on a metal baking rack set on a sheet pan. Allow the oil to return to 360 degrees F before frying the next batch. When all the chicken is fried, bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve hot.

THE BEST OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN!

Steps:

• **For gluten-free version: skip French's French Fried Onions and use gluten-free Rice Krispies.
• In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, large pinch red pepper flakes, hot sauce, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Whisk to incorporate; mixture should be a light pink color. Add chicken pieces, cover, and let marinade in fridge for 1 to 3 hours, or overnight.
• In a large ziplock bag, add puffed rice cereal, French's French Fried Onions, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, a pinch of red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste. Close bag, free of large air bubbles, and lightly crush contents with rolling pin (The cereal pieces should remain MOSTLY INTACT). Toss and turn bag to evenly distribute spices in the breading mixture.
• Once ready to bake, preheat oven to 425ºF (I just discovered my own oven runs 50º hotter, so 425º for ME is more about a 475º for a more accurate oven, so adjust accordingly).
• Remove chicken from fridge; set aside. Pour breading mixture into a large plate or pie dish. Pick up a chicken piece, shake off excess buttermilk marinade then place in breading dish. Pat each side of the chicken piece into breading until well coated on both sides. Place on a large metal baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Discard left over marinade along with the bay leaves.
• Once oven has reached 425º, bake chicken on middle rack of oven for 35-40 minutes then enjoy the juiciest, crunchiest oven-fried chicken you've ever had!
