Steps:
- In a large bowl or two gallon-sized zip-top bags, put brine herbs and spices in. Pour buttermilk into the bowl and whisk up to mix buttermilk and seasoning together. Add chicken pieces and make sure each piece is submerged in the buttermilk. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, overnight most prefered. You can brine the chicken to up to 24 hours.
- When you're ready to start frying, begin bringing a 6 quart enamel cast iron dutch oven (or any other large, heavy bottom pot) filled half-way with vegetable oil to temperature. Use a candy/oil thermometer to bring oil to 325 degrees F. When you place the stem of a wooden spoon in the oil, it should start to bubble around it. That's when you know it's ready. This is a good way to test the oil temperature if you don't have a thermometer.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- While oil is coming to temp, in a large bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and spices and herbs. Splash a bit of brine, about 4 tbsp, into the flour.
- Take each piece of chicken out of the brine and coat well in the flour mixture. Let rest on a plate, repeat until each piece is coated in flour. Let rest for 5 minutes, then dip each piece back into the flour mixture and let rest again for 5-10 minutes.
- Have a wire rack over a baking sheet prepared on a counter next to your range. Fry your chicken pieces, 2-4 pieces at a time, for about 20-22 minutes. When batch is done, place on prepared wire rack over the baking sheet and put into the warm oven. This will keep the batches warm while you finish frying. Repeat this step until complete.
- Serve immediately.

Steps:
- To make the brine: Zest, then quarter the lemon. Put the lemon zest and quarters in a saucepan. Add the tea, sugar, and salt. Simmer the mixture over medium-high heat until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add 1 quart of ice water and the chicken. Brine the chicken in the refrigerator for 48 hours. Drain the chicken and blot dry.
- Combine 2 cups flour, the masa harina, crab boil seasoning, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat the 8 eggs with the buttermilk. Put the remaining 2 cups of flour in a third bowl.
- Prepare a breading station by lining up the bowl of flour, then the bowl containing the egg and buttermilk mixture, and finally the bowl of seasoned crust mixture. Roll the chicken in the flour, then the egg mixture, and then the crust then put the legs and thighs in a single layer on a plate or baking sheet. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Fill a large deep pan with enough oil to completely submerge the chicken. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 300 degrees F. Add the chicken and cook until it is golden and the juices run clear, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain the chicken on a rack then serve.
SWEET-TEA FRIED CHICKEN
John Fleer is a thinking man's chef, a onetime doctoral candidate in religion who chucked it all for a career in the kitchen. One of his best ideas to spring from his mind is this brined chicken, which manages to pay tribute to the traditional South of days past and the multicultural South still on the horizon.

Steps:
- Combine tea, lemon, sugar and kosher salt, and simmer for 5 minutes or salt and sugar are complete dissolved. Pour in ice water and cool brine completely. Submerge thighs and drumsticks in brine for 48 hours.
- Remove to a wire rack and allow chicken to drain. Combine 2 cups of the flour and the corn flour, crab boil, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Place remaining 1 cup flour in a medium bowl, and in a third bowl beat eggs with buttermilk. Line up bowls of flour, egg-buttermilk mixture and then the flour-corn flour mixture, in that order. Coat the chicken in the flour, then the egg-buttermilk mixture, and then the flour-corn flour mixture, applying pressure to ensure even adherence. Let the chicken sit in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour before frying.
- Pour oil in a heavy pot at a depth of at least 3 inches. Heat oil to 300 degrees F. Fry chicken, submerged in oil, for 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 170 degrees F for dark meat, 160 degrees F for white meat. Drain on a rack. Cool to room temperature, and then place in refrigerator for at least 4 and no more than 24 hours. Serve cool from a picnic basket or cold, straight from the refrigerator.
SWEET TEA AND LEMON BRINED FRIED CHICKEN
I have made fried chicken exactly once in my life and this is the recipe. I did a lot of research on fried chicken before I ventured in this direction...learning about all of the fun southern traditions. I figured that if I was going to finally take the fried chicken plunge that I would do it well. So here goes....Let me know if you enjoy the flavor. The sweet tea, thyme, garlic, and lemon brine do the trick!

Steps:
- Mix tea, salt, thyme, lemons, and garlic together in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Add Chicken and seal. Place bag into a container in the fridge to protect from spoilage. You can also place in a big cooler filled with ice - this is what I do to brine my turkeys.
- Allow the chicken to marinate in the brine mixture for 24-48 hours, no longer than 48 hours.
- Remove chicken and discard the bag and the brining mixture.
- Whisk together buttermilk, egg, and honey. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place in a shallow bowl -- I often like to use a pie plate, because I have several and barely ever use them :).
- Mix together flour, panko bread crumbs, chili powder, baking powder, and the additional salt and pepper in a second shallow bowl.
- Using one hand for wet and another hand for dry, dip each piece of chicken in the wet mixture on both sides. Then coat each side of the chicken piece in the dry mixture. Coat well and shake off any excess. Repeat this process for each piece of chicken.
- I then like to repeat the process for what I call a "DOUBLE DIP". You may need to add an additional wet and dry recipe to the bowls. All you do is re-dip each piece of chicken in the wet and dry mixtures to add an extra kiss of love and tenderness to that chicken crust :).
- Deep fry chicken in Vegetable Oil (or shortening if you prefer) until golden brown and chicken is the desired doneness (or about 165 to 175 degrees internally). This should take about 9-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
- If you don't want to break out the fryer or stink up your kitchen, you can also bake the chicken on a pan sprayed with non-stick spray. I have not tried this yet, but I am sure it will work with the appropriate patience.
- When I made this chicken recipe, I served with a Seafood boil and a selection of hot sauces, bbq sauces, honey, butter, etc. Serve how you wish and enjoy!

- In a medium bowl, add the chicken pieces. In a small glass, whisk together the buttermilk, sweet tea concentrate and 1 tablespoon of salt. Stir well to dissolve the salt. Pour this mixture over the chicken, cover, and marinate 48 hours.
- When the oven is at 425, place the cast iron skillet on the center rack and let it heat for 10 minutes. Add the butter and oil. It should melt almost immediately and begin to sizzle. Place the pan back in the oven while you do the next step.
- Next, bread your chicken. Remove the pieces from the marinade, but reserve the marinade. Add the wet pieces of chicken to the flour mixture and use your hands to toss to coat each with flour. Then, repeat the process: back in the buttermilk-sweet tea marinade again and then flour to coat. You just double-battered your chicken.

Cover the chicken with 2-3 layers of paper towels and press down on the chicken to squeeze as much tea out as possible. Dry the chicken thoroughly.

- Place the tea bags, sugar, and baking soda in a very large heatproof bowl or pot. Pour the boiling water over the top, cover, and steep for 15 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard. Stir in the salt, peppercorns, lemon juice, garlic cloves, oregano, thyme, and cold water and allow the brine to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, add the chicken pieces, cover, and refrigerate 12 hours.
- Pour the buttermilk into a large bowl. In a second large bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, paprika, thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Drain the chicken from the brine and pat dry. Dredge the chicken by coating first in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk, and once again in the flour mixture. I like to dredge multiple chicken pieces at a time for efficiency. (Don’t worry about buttermilk getting in the flour-- those little chunks that are formed make the fried chicken extra crispy!)

- While the oil is heating up, in a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and seasonings. Take each chicken thigh from the brine and dredge into the seasoned flour. Thoroughly coat the chicken all over, then let rest on a plate for five minutes before frying.
