KFC Grilled Chicken Recipe
INGREDIENTS
8 cups water
1/4 cup salt
1 tablespoon Accent Flavor Enhancer
1 small chicken, cut up into 8 pieces
Liquid Coating:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
Dry Rub Seasoning Mix:
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon chicken soup base
1/4 teaspoon beef soup base
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon pepper, coarsely ground
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
Pinch dried oregano
Pinch garlic powder

Steps:

1. Do ahead: Make the brine by combining all the brine ingredients in a pot large enough to hold all the chicken pieces and the water. Dissolve the salt and Accent in the water, then add the chicken pieces, making sure they are covered. Refrigerate the pot for at least 2 hours. 2. Do ahead: Combine all the dry rub ingredients and store in a covered container until ready to use. 3. Do ahead: Combine all the ingredients for the liquid coating and set aside. 4. Preheat the oven to 350*F. 5. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry - discard the brine. Brush the liquid coating over both sides of each piece of chicken and then sprinkle generously with the dry rub. 6. Heat a grill or grill pan, one with raised ridges, and cook each chicken piece by laying it on the grill or pan just long enough to make the distinctive grill marks. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the oven until it is golden brown and cooked through, at least 20 minutes on each side. The brining will ensure that the chicken is moist and tender. Secret Recipe Tip: The Accent can be substituted for another brand of monosodium glutamate, which can usually be found where herbs and spices are sold. Food for Thought: You can omit the beef soup base, just increase the total amount of chicken soup base to 1 teaspoon. Serves 4 to 5
