For Brine:

- 1 ½ cups Buttermilk
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 ½ tbsp Black Pepper
- 1 ¼ tbsp Salt
Seasoning Dredge:
- 4 cups King Arthur All-Purpose Unbleached Flour, Recommended
- 1 ½ tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 ½ tbsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 ½ tbsp Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning, Recommended
- 1 ½ tbsp Onion Powder
- 1 ½ tbsp Ground Celery Seeds
- 1 ½ tbsp Tumeric Powder
- 1 ½ tbsp Black Pepper
- 1 ½ tbsp Annato Powder
- 4 tsp Davis Baking Powder, Recommended
- 1 ¼ tsp Salt
- Oil For Frying
Instructions
For Brine:
- Mix the pepper, salt, buttermilk, and 2 eggs in a large size ziplock bag or in a large bowl.
- Mix in the chicken. Shake the sealed bag, or in the bowl to ensure that it is coated and submerged in the brine.
- Refrigerate the sealed bag or the wrapped-in-plastic-wrapped bowl. Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 to 24 hours.
- The longer you let it brine the better your chicken will taste. This keeps it moist while cooking.
For Seasoning Dredge:
- Take 1 1/2 cups of flour, along with all the seasonings, and put them into the food processor.
- Pulse until mixed. There shouldn’t be any large flakes of the season.
- In a large paper bag, a zip lock bag, or a bowl, combine the processed mixture and the remaining 2 1/2 cups of flour.
- These bags are more manageable to clean up and will be less messy.
- Take the chicken out of the refrigerator.
- Place each piece in a bowl, then flip to coat. Place the dredged chicken aside on baking sheets.
- The simplest method is to pull all the chicken from the brine and put it in the bag.
- Shake the bag until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Put the chicken pieces on a baking sheet.
- Pour your oil into the pot with at least a quarter within the pot. It should be heated until it reaches 350 °.
- When the oil is at 350 F, you can drop a few chicken pieces into the oil at a time and let cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- The chicken must have an internal temperature between 170 and 170 F.
- Remove the chicken from the oil, and repeat this process for the rest of the chicken pieces.
- Enjoy the Publix Fried Chicken at home!
