DH and I ate at Hattie's "Chicken Shack" years ago. It was a memorable experience. http://www.hattiesrestaurant.com/ I was happy to see this recipe in Food & Wine, 2001. "This highly seasoned chicken will showcase the flaovors of a smooth, rich, fruity Chardonnay such as the 1998 Acacia Carneros or the 1998 Chalone."

HATTIE B'S HOT CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Hattie B's Hot Chicken Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-3145

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the dry brine:
1 whole chicken (about 3 pounds), washed, patted dry and cut into quarters
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the dip:
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
For the dredge:
2 cups all-purpose flour
Sea salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the spicy coating:
1/2 cup lard, melted and heated (or hot frying oil)
3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Pickle slices, for serving

Steps:

  • Dry-brine the chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper; cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours. Make the dip and dredge: In a bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and hot sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and 2 teaspoons sea salt. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, then dip in the milk mixture, then in the flour mixture again, shaking off the excess after each step. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer to 325 degrees F. Set a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. Working in batches, lower the chicken into the fryer and fry until crisp, 15 to 17 minutes for breast quarters and 18 to 20 minutes for leg quarters. Remove the chicken and let it drain on the rack. Make the spicy coating: Carefully ladle the lard or frying oil into a medium heatproof bowl and whisk in the cayenne pepper, brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, the paprika and garlic powder. Baste the spice mixture over the hot fried chicken and serve immediately; garnish with pickles.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy, well-seasoned chicken, marinate the chicken pieces in a mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before frying.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large pot with high sides to fry the chicken. This will prevent splattering and ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F. Using a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature will help you achieve the perfect crispy texture.
  • Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent the oil temperature from dropping.
  • Once the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, drain it on paper towels to remove excess oil.
