  • ▢1 tbsp black pepper
  • ▢1 tbsp garlic powder

Wet Batter

  • ▢1 cup seasoning mix
  • ▢1 cup water, cold

Instructions

  • Pierce chicken carefully with a knife and brine with whole milk (or water), salt, garlic, black peppercorns, and bay leaves. Brine for 2-3 hours or overnight for best results.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, white pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper and baking powder and whisk until combined.
  • Take 1 cup of your seasoning mix and combine in a separate bowl with cold water and mix until smooth.
  • Remove the chicken from the brine and spoon a few tablespoons of brine into the seasoning mix and rub together with your hands to create small clumps. These craggily bits will add extra texture to the chicken.
