JUICY HONEY FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, seasoned bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, and pepper in a small, shallow bowl.
• Combine milk, egg, honey, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a separate shallow bowl until well blended.
• Dip chicken pieces first in the flour mixture to coat all sides and shake off excess. Dip into the egg mixture and back into the flour mixture. Set chicken pieces aside on a plate to rest for 10 minutes.
• Pour 1 inch of peanut oil into a deep-fryer or large saucepan and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) over medium-high heat. Fry chicken a few pieces at a time, without crowding, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking sheet using tongs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

ATK'S SUPER CRISPY, HONEY-DIPPED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make brine and batter at the same time so that they can be refrigerated for an adequate amount of time. The batter will be thin, but is quite adequate. It will thicken when chilled. Brine chicken in 2 quarts of water with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of salt whisked inches Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Heat oil (about 4 cups) to 350 degrees Farenheit in a 4 quart pot. Dry chicken and dredge in 1/2 Celsius cornstarch, shaking off any excess. Coat with batter and carefully drop into the oil, cooking for 5 to 7 minutes. Chicken will be light in color, but remove to a cooling rack or paper bags/towels. When all chicken is par-fried, reheat oil to 350 degrees. Dip fried chicken pieces into batter again and fry for another 5 to 7 minutes, then drain again. In a medium bowl, microwave honey and hot sauce for one minute. Place chicken pieces, one at a time, into warm mix and roll around until completely coated. Remove to a cooling rack. Enjoy hot or cold. Even when chilled, the chicken will remain super crispy.
