HOOSIER FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:
- Let chicken sit in refrigerator overnight. When ready to fry, roll pieces in mixture of flour, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Heat ¼ inch of cooking oil in cast iron skillet until bubbly. Lower the heat slightly and put in pieces of chicken. Cook to a golden brown, turning often to brown evenly and to prevent sticking. When all the pieces are golden brown, add water, cover tightly and cook slowly in a moderate oven at 325 F for 40 minutes until fork tender. Remove lid and cook chicken 5 minutes to re-crisp the coating. The chicken has an extra special flavor when oil is seasoned with approximately 1 t. of bacon drippings.
THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN
To get the most delicious chicken, we dry brined it overnight so the seasonings could penetrate the meat right down to the bone. (Don't worry, the brown sugar doesn't make the chicken sweet, it only helps to bring out the flavor.) We also wet the seasoned dredging flour with buttermilk and hot sauce to achieve large shaggy pieces of flavorful crust once the chicken is fried. And the cornstarch in that dredge? It keeps the crust shatteringly crisp - more so than just flour would- even if you are serving the chicken at room temperature.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into 10 pieces. Cut off the wings. Remove the legs and separate the thighs. Remove and discard the backbone. Cut the breast into 2 pieces and then cut each breast in half.
- Mix 4 teaspoons salt, the brown sugar and baking powder in a small bowl until completely combined and no lumps of sugar remain. Sprinkle the salt mixture all over the chicken pieces. Place the seasoned chicken on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Wrap the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 3 hours and up to 24. (Overnight works best.)
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and 1/4 cup salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and eggs in another large bowl. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, turning to coat and packing it into any crevices. Shake to remove any excess and return to the rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Pour 6 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture into the seasoned flour and work it in with your fingers; it should feel like sand with some clumps. (These clumps will give the chicken a crispy, shaggy crust.) Dip the dredged chicken into the remaining buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then pack the moistened flour firmly onto the chicken. Very gently shake off any excess and return to the rack. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.
- Pour enough oil into a large heavy pot to come halfway up the sides. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the pot. Heat the oil over high heat until the thermometer registers 300 degrees F. Working in 3 batches, fry the chicken, turning often and adjusting the heat to maintain the temperature, until deep golden brown, about 8 minutes for the wings, 10 minutes for the legs and 12 minutes for the thighs and halved breasts (an uncut breast will take 15 to 18 minutes). Transfer to a clean wire rack set over paper towels to drain.

Steps:
- Wash chicken, trim loose parts and fat off.
- In a medium size bowl, beat the egg with the water. Put flour into 1 gallon zip lock bag. Season the flour with the house seasoning. Dip the chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour mixture.
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot or cast iron Dutch Oven. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil. To save cook time, partially precook chicken in 350 F oven for 20 minutes before "wash & flour".
- Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer then white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes.
- House Seasoning is MAdCity Dale's Luv seasoning #520519.

HOOSIER CHICKEN WITH POTATO CHIP CRUST
This recipe for crispy chicken breasts seasoned with Chinese five-spice is great for those thin chicken cutlets that are always on sale! The recipe received its name from the Indiana natives and is from Food and Wine Magazine. It's awesome for picnics because it's good both hot and at room temperature. For a more refined dish, thinly slice the chicken and serve over a mixed baby greens. Fabulous paired with Herding Cats Chenin Blanc/Chardonnay.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225°.
- Mix mayonnaise, chile powder, five-spice powder, lemon zest, pepper and a pinch of salt. Add chicken and coat.
- Spread crushed chips on a sheet of wax paper or cookie sheet. Coat chicken with crumbs, pressing to adhere if needed.
- Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet. When the foam subsides, add half of the chicken cutlets and cook over moderately high heat, turning only once, until browned and cooked through, this will take about 5 minutes or so.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining batch of chicken.
