Speaking of fried chicken, Aunt Duddie has a recipe that I used to cook (havent made it in a couple years). It was the CRUNCHIEST, most moist, and delicious fried chicken I ever made or had.

BRINE
1 quart cold water
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup sugar
4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces

BATTER
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
5 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups cold water
3 quarts peanut or vegetable oil or Crisco Shortening

Instructions
1. MAKE BRINE Whisk water, salt, and sugar in large bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. Add chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
2. MAKE BATTER Whisk flour, cornstarch, pepper, paprika, cayenne, baking powder, salt, and water in large bowl until smooth. Refrigerate batter while chicken is brining.
3. FRY CHICKEN Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. Remove chicken from refrigerator, pour off brine, and pat dry with paper towels. Re-whisk batter. Transfer half of chicken to batter. One piece at a time, remove chicken from batter (allowing excess to drip back into bowl) and transfer to oil. Fry chicken, adjusting burner as necessary to maintain oil temperature between 300 and 325 degrees, until deep golden brown and white meat registers 160 degrees (175 degrees for dark meat), 12 to 15 minutes. Drain chicken on wire rack set inside rimmed baking sheet. Bring oil back to 350 degrees and repeat with remaining chicken. I kept the chicken warm in a 175* oven on a rack over some paper towels in a sheet pan.

It really is. The brine and cornstarch are the secret I think. The spices, Ive done different variations, but they all came out great. The gf isnt too big on fried foods, but when we first started dating, she would ask me to make this every couple weeks...lol

Ha ha! I dated a vegetarian once that would always want a piece of my steak, chicken, pork or fish. Funny... I never asked for anything from her plate.
