COKE-BRINED FRIED CHICKEN

John Currence, of City Grocery in Oxford, Miss., spent a long time in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit, and was justly celebrated for his hard work there helping to rebuild a cathedral of Southern fried chicken, Willie Mae's Scotch House. In his 2013 cookbook, "Pickles, Pigs and Whiskey," Currence paid tribute to the wet batter used on Willie Mae's legendary dish. But for the purpose of weekend chicken warriors we have omitted it in our adaptation of his homage, concentrating instead on Currence's use of a Coke-based poultry brine that not only adds some sweetness to the chicken thighs he uses but mildly tenderizes them along the way. Let the meat sit in the brine for a few hours before using, but not so long as overnight, where it really begins to break down. Then dry the thighs, dredge them in seasoned flour, and fry in peanut oil, ideally enhanced by lard. The result is mahogany-brown chicken with a crisp crust and a luscious interior.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 cups Coca-Cola
1 tablespoon kosher salt
10 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
4 teaspoons mild hot sauce like Crystal, Texas Pete or Cholula
8 to 12 chicken thighs, preferably free-range, organic
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups peanut oil
1 cup lard, optional, or replace with peanut oil
Hot sauce

Steps:

  • Make the brine: Combine cola, salt, thyme, garlic and hot sauce in a large metal bowl and stir until the salt has dissolved. Add the chicken thighs, cover and refrigerate 3 to 5 hours.
  • Make the seasoned flour: In a wide, shallow bowl or pan, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put the peanut oil in a large heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees on a candy thermometer. While the oil heats, remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry. Dredge the thighs in the flour and shake to remove excess.
  • Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, carefully lower thighs into the hot oil. The oil temperature will plummet when the cold chicken goes into the pan; turn up the heat and carefully monitor the temperature. Cook for a little more than 3 minutes on one side, a little more than 3 minutes on the other, and then a final 3 minutes on the first side. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel to drain.
  • The juices should run clear when the chicken is poked with a knife. If necessary, transfer the browned chicken to a baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on a instant-read thermometer. Serve hot or at room temperature with hot sauce.

COKE-BRINED GRILLED CHICKEN!



Coke-Brined Grilled Chicken! image

Chickens just don't taste the way they used to. Unless you're lucky enough to raise your own! Well try this recipe and you will never use another one. It produces the moistest flavourful chicken we have ever cooked on the grill.

Provided by Koechin Chef

Categories     Poultry

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken breast halves, with skin and bones
4 1/2 cups Coca-Cola
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons paprika

Steps:

  • Combine the salt and Coke. Stir well to dissolve.
  • Puncture your chicken several times with the tines of a fork.
  • Place it in the brine. Make sure all pieces are submerged. (I use a large round bowl); Cover.
  • Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  • Prepare your rub. Be sure to combine well. (for the Mustard Powder I like to use "Colemanns").
  • When you are ready to grill the chicken. Prepare your grill so the chicken will be cooked over indirect heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the brine, and dry it well. (throw out the brine).
  • Rub your chicken pieces on both sides with the rub. Use it all!
  • Now let it sit for 15 min., so it can absorb the rub flavors.
  • Place it on the grill, skin side down for approximately 15-20 minutes. The skin should be nice and crispy brown.
  • Turn the pieces over and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes.
  • You might like to serve it with your favorite BBQ Sauce on the side.
  • This also works well with chicken legs, but the cooking time will vary. The dark meat should test at 180°F in the thigh.

There isn't any cola in this recipe. The name comes from the coke ovens it was cooked in.unknown source

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons ground ginger
3 tablespoons ground sage
2 tablespoon salt
3 pounds bone in, skin on chicken pieces, split breasts cut in half, drumsticks, and/or thighs, trimmed
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
pinch baking soda
3 to 4 quarts vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. stir the buttermilk, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, 1 tablespoon of the sage, and the salt together in a large bowl. Submerge the chicken completely in the buttermilk mixture, cover, and refrigerate for one hour.
  • 2. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons ginger, remaining 2 tablespoon sage, the flour, onion powder, sugar, pepper, and baking soda together in a shallow dish.
  • 3. Remove the chicken from the brine and, working with three pieces at a time, dredge in the flour mixture, shake off the excess and transfer to the prepared wire rack. Refrigerate, uncovered for two hours.
  • 4. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200°. Pour the oil into a large Dutch oven until it measures 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350° over medium high heat. Add half of the chicken pieces to the pot, skin side down. Cover and cook, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature of 325° until deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 5. After two minutes, check the chicken pieces for even browning and rearrange if some pieces are Browning faster than others. Turn the chicken pieces over and continue to cook, uncovered, until deep golden brown and fully cooked, 160 -- 165° for breasts and 175° for thighs or drumsticks on an instant read thermometer, 4 to 7 minutes longer. Drain the chicken briefly a large paper towel lined plate, then transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Return the oil to 350° over medium high heat and repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Serve. Serves four note: ginger and sage add a nice twist to this otherwise classic fried chicken. Air drying the chicken after dredging it produces a crispier crust, while adding a pinch of baking soda lightens it up.

COKE CHICKEN



Coke Chicken image

This recipe is meant as a 'suit to taste' recipe. Please feel free to use spices you enjoy with ketchup-based sauces. Or feel free to brine your chicken PRIOR to placing this coke sauce on it. The sauce is great on the chicken, but a few people have complained that the flavor does not penetrate the skin, so all I can say is, You're a chef now, EXPERIMENT! *smile*

Provided by MapleLeafLili Hill

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 baking dish of chicken

Number Of Ingredients 4

bone-in skin-on chicken piece, enough to cover the bottom of your baking dish (use whatever pieces you enjoy eating)
1 cup Coca-Cola (or any brand of cola flavoured soda)
1 cup ketchup
some barbecue sauce, to suit your tastes (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir together your sauce ingredients, and pour over your chicken pieces in the baking dish.
  • (you can choose to leave this in the fridge to marinate a few hours, or go ahead and put it in the oven right away).
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour to 1 hour 30-mins depending on the size of pieces you used. (I've never had this burn on to the bottom of a casserole dish.. Around the sides of the pan, the sauce will bubble up a little and carmelize, but everything should come clean with a regular hot water and soap soaking). Feel free to spritz your baking dish with cooking spray though if you've had trouble with things burning on to your pans.
  • This recipe offers possibilities to add spices to suit your taste, so please, experiment!

COKE GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS

Sprinkle some cilantro on top for presentation. Everyone loved the wings at the party.I love this recipe and I hope you do too.

Provided by Kimy Arauz

Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 12

GLAZE/ MARINATE
2 c coca cola
1 c brown sugar
3 Tbsp lime juice
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp black pepper
dash of tabasco or cayenne pepper
WINGS
4 lb wing sections
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. First combine ingredients in sauce pan and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes. 1 cup will be marinade, while the other will be used to baste the wings as a blaze. Refridgerate glaze portion until ready to cook wings.
  • 2. For the wings Combine dry ingredients in small bowl. Place wing sections in large bowl and toss in salt and pepper mixture. Toss wings until mixture is evenly distributed and all wings have been coated. Place wings in gallon size ziploc bag. Pour one cup of coke glaze/marinade in the bag and place in fridge for 2 hours or overnight (I think 1 hr is fine).
  • 3. I didn't grill the wings. Instead I baked the wings for 45 min (or until cooked through) on 350 degrees and then added glaze under the broiler for 5 minutes or until sticky. If the glaze isn't thick enough when you're ready to broil you can add corn starch.
