Cooking Instructions
For the Chicken
1. Whisk all marinade ingredients together.
2. Add chicken pieces to marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, up to overnight.
3. Combine all breading ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Remove chicken pieces from marinade and add to breading. Coat each piece thoroughly
with breading.
5. Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to 340°F in a large deep skillet.
6. Shake excess breading off chicken pieces and carefully lower into pan, skin side down.
7. Fry until golden brown and crunchy, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer
inserted in the thickest part of each piece registers 165°F about 20 minutes.
8. Drain chicken on paper towels. Keep warm in a low oven while you make collard greens
and grits.
