Fried chicken question

Do you brine or marinate in milk/buttermilk? Or do you not go near either?

Alton Brown has a vid on youtube with the buttermilk marinade.
I may try this at some point in the future. But no, I have never taken the time to do that.

I always do buttermilk. It's a Maryland thing.

I normally do milk and egg then into the seasoned flour. But have never done a brine or buttermilk marinade.
Im also looking into doing a "wet batter". Anyone done this either?

neither salt/pepper flour and fry at high temperature and turning often.

I soak mine in buttermilk overnight before I fry it using seasoned flour. I never was a fan of batter fried foods.

The way that it was done at the Picadilly years ago (before the yankees took it over), was to soak the chicken in a salt water solution (also known as a brine... the water should taste like salty sea water) for 20 to 30 minutes. Shake each piece dry.
Dip each piece into lightly seasoned flour to coat; shake off excess flour. Dip in plain buttermilk. Dip back into the flour. Dip back into the buttermilk and finish by dipping one last time into the seasoned flour.
Salt Brine --> Flour --> Buttermilk --> Flour --> Buttermilk --> Flour --> Properly heated Grease (preferably peanut oil, lard, or duck fat)!

If you soak chicken in a brine for 20-30 minutes you are wasting 20-30 minutes.
Brine chicken for 10-12 hours. Then buttermilk, flour and fry.

Gus's in Memphis does a wet batter that results in something like this. Im trying to perfect my fried chicken recipe. Anyone have a good wet batter?

a very well known chicken place in the BR area marinates in a brine, dips in milk and seasoned flour

How do you do the buttermilk thing without creating a really thick hard crust? I tried this method and it seemed like the crust burned before the chicken cooked. I must be doing something wrong?

Watch Alton Brown's video on you tube.

Will do. Last time I ended up with crust like concrete.

That pic that Beard posted looks like the fried chicken that my grandmother would order on the phone and they would deliver. The chicken place was in New Orleans back in the late fifties and sixties. The name of that place was Chicken Delight and their slogan was, "Don't cook tonight, call Chicken Delight."

You are correct on this,, the reason Piccadilly did that was to help kill salmonella, not to help season etc..
