Instructions
Prepare the chicken by removing all skin and thick layers of fat from the thigh/drumstick meat, leaving only clean meat.
Dica: Removing the skin prevents it from having an unpleasant texture after frying.
Prepare the marinade by combining the pickle brine, crystal scallion brine, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt, sugar, ground ginger, onion powder, sweet paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well with a whisk.
Submerge the chicken pieces in the prepared marinade and refrigerate for at least one hour (ideally 2 to 3 hours).
Dica: The extended time in the marinade helps tenderize and season the meat.
In one bowl, mix the three cups of all-purpose flour with half a cup of cornstarch. Season this mixture by adding one teaspoon of paprika, one teaspoon of garlic powder, one teaspoon of onion powder, one tablespoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
Dica: Cornstarch helps make the fried coating drier and crispier, reducing fat absorption.
In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk four eggs with one-third cup of club soda until well combined.
Dica: The sparkling water contributes to a lighter coating after frying.
Dredge each piece of chicken sequentially in the flour mixture, then in the beaten egg, and return to the flour. Let the breaded pieces rest for ten minutes.
Dica: Allowing them to rest lets the flour absorb moisture, preventing the crust from peeling off during frying.
Fry the chicken in hot oil (approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side) until well browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (73 degrees Celsius).
Dica: Ensure the internal temperature is correct for safe cooking.
Remove the fried chicken and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
Dica: Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Prepare the sauce by mixing the three-quarters cup of ketchup, three-quarters cup of mayonnaise, honey mustard, onion powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, pickle brine, chopped pickles, salt, black pepper to taste, and a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the sauce on both halves of the bun, placing the fried chicken on the bottom, followed by the tomato, and finally the lettuce on top.
Dica: Sauce on both sides of the bun ensures extra moisture and flavor.
