GRANNY'S BRINE:
5 cups water
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons salt
CHICKEN:
1 chicken, cut up & brined
2 - 3 cups of Aunt Jemima Pancake Flour
3 tbsp. salt & pepper
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

Let the chicken sit in the brine (covered in the refrigerator) for 3 ½ hours exactly. Mix pancake flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine egg, butter & milk. Remove the chicken from the brine and rinse. Pat dry. Dip chicken pieces in the egg mixture and then dredge in the pancake mixture. Shake off any excess. Fry 3 - 4 pieces of chicken for 7 - 8 minutes (or until desired color is reached) and flip. Repeat with remaining chicken. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
