new dish

hey guys...

so long din update about my cooking blog ... so now i would like to introduce to you a new dish which is quite simple.. it is FRIED CHICKEN

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken cut into pieces

oil for frying

brine:

3 tbsp rock salt

5 cups water

breading:

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp dried basil

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 tbsp DRY instant chicken broth

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Step 1: Mix water and rock salt to make brine. Soak the chicken in it for about an hour in the fridge.

Step 2: Mix the breading ingredients. Sift to remove any lumps.

Step 3: Remove the chicken from the brine and rinse with water. Pat with some paper towel to remove extra moisture then dredge in coating mix.

Step 4: Deep fry in hot oil over medium high heat for about 15-20 minutes or until chicken is done. In this recipe I used some margarine and mixed it with the oil for richer taste.

Step 5: Take out of the oil when done and set aside.

Step 6: In the same pan, I remove the oil leaving just enough to use in making a rue out of the remaining breading mixture. Add some water or chicken stock and whisk until it boils and become thick. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7: Serve while still hot!
