Steps:
- Dredge the brined chicken in cornstarch.
- Dip the cornstarch dredged thigh into the batter, making sure to coat it thoroughly.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer. Lower half of thigh into hot oil until it starts to float, then release thigh and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and is golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast bun. Place a tablespoon of lemon aioli on both the bottom and top of the toasted bun.
- Toss crispy onions and baby kale together in sesame vinaigrette, then put on top of bun.
- Place crispy chicken thigh on top of the bottom bun and drizzle liberally with our sweet soy sesame sauce.
- For the spice mix: Grind the coriander seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns, granulated garlic and onion and bay leaves in a spice grinder, then place them in a container with the salt and sugar. Add 2 cups hot water to the mixture and stir to dissolve the salt and sugar.
- Add 2 quarts cold water and mix completely.
- For the brine: Place salt, sugar and 1 cup spice mix (save remainder for another use) into the very hot water. Let steep, stirring every 5 minutes until dissolved, for 20 minutes. Add 10 quarts cold water and chill in walk-in or ice bath. Store in fridge for up to a week.
- To use the brine: Cover the meat in brine and refrigerate, 24 hours.
