Preparation

Step 1

6 each Chicken Legs and Chicken Thighs
1 large jar Spicy Garlic Pickles
In a zip bag, brine the chicken in the pickle juice for 2-12 hours. Reserve pickles.

Oil (to fry)
In a deep cast iron skillet, heat enough oil to submerge chicken to 360F.

2 cups Buttermilk
Salt
Pepper
1/2 cup Flour
Drain the chicken. Dip in buttermilk and dredge the chicken lightly in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.

Fry the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.

With the pickles, slice into coins if necessary, dip in buttermilk and dredge lightly and then fry for 30-60 seconds, until golden brown and crisp, and then drain to a paper towel lined plate.


Serve the chicken and pickles together.
