Keeping a lid on during frying or using room temp chicken will help with not losing too much heat when the chicken goes in and helps with mess. <br />V- I like brining and buttermilking in one step- I throw a few handfuls of salt into the buttermilk and let the chicken sit in that for a few hours. Also, for storage, I bring the temp of the chicken back down to room temp before putting it in tupperware and refrigerating it, as this prevents it from steaming and sogging the beautiful crust.<br />By the way V, I almost bought ad hoc at home today on an impulse- would you recommend it?ctwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023188719978422709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117079612738722567.post-16192234565371847662009-10-29T13:56:29.276-04:002009-10-29T13:56:29.276-04:00there are too many wonderful things to comment on ...there are too many wonderful things to comment on in this post! First of all, you have got me yearning to go to the lowcountry...Savannah's as close as I've ever gotten and I've been itching to go back ever since. And I've been wondering about Ad Hoc...you've confirmed my suspicions about the book!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085413093222573852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117079612738722567.post-90860719232142069922009-10-29T06:52:57.384-04:002009-10-29T06:52:57.384-04:00Thanks for this recipe.

Other than using chicken directly from the supermarket I followed the recipe exactly. It was on the spicy side, but the 'heat' was good. I did have to finish the chicken in the oven.....when i took it out after 13 minutes in the pot it wasnt done yet. Searching around online I see that this is a pretty common problem. I would definitely make this again. Thanks again for the recipe.

Michaela,
I think it would be a GREAT first ...Hi,<br /><br />Michaela,<br /><br />I think it would be a GREAT first frying recipe provided you use the appropriate pot to cook it in - one that is deep and heats evenly, such as a LeCreuset or All-Clad stainless tri-ply.<br /><br />I want the man in your life to love YOU for this!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12069825275231321637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117079612738722567.post-55924689706887810282009-10-26T07:27:32.269-04:002009-10-26T07:27:32.269-04:00Well there you are ! I have missed you. Oh-my-God....Well there you are ! I have missed you. Oh-my-God... I really, really want to try this fried chicken - it looks like heaven. You know, I must confess- I have never tried to make anything fried. I am a little scared of the hot oil - I think an 'incident' in my nervous-mother's kitchen, ( circa my late 1980's high school years ), has something to do with this fear. It's been 20 years now. I should get over it.<br /><br />Do you think this is a good place to start, for a frying novice? (I am far more laid back than my mother in the kitchen), OR should I practice on something else before I give it a go? I really want to try it and surprise the man in my life with something FRIED! (He will love you for this).<br /><br />:)MichaelaMichaela at The Gardener's Edenhttp://www.thegardenerseden.comnoreply@blogger.com
