Directions
Special equipment:
a deep-fryer
For the brine: Combine the hot water, salt, granulated garlic, pepper, sugar and vinegar. Let cool, then add the chicken and let brine, refrigerated, for 8 hours.
For the batter: In a bowl, combine the flour, granulated garlic, black pepper, red pepper, poultry seasoning, sage, onion salt and regular salt.
Remove the chicken from the brine and shake off the excess water. Dredge in the batter mixture and coat thoroughly. Drop the chicken in the deep-fryer at 325 degrees F, piece by piece, and cook for 15 minutes. Let the chicken rest in the fry basket for 5 minutes.
Serve with bread and hot sauce on the side.
