_______________________________________________

1 cup orange juice

1 cup beer of your choice

1/3 cup coarse salt

2 tablespoons sugar

2-1/2 to 3 pounds meaty chicken pieces (breast halves, thighs, and drumsticks)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon curry or more to taste

1 cup crushed rice krispies

2 large eggs

Cooking oil or Extra Virgin Olive oil (preferred)

Directions

1. For brine, in a resealable plastic bag set in a bowl combine the 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup beer of your choice, the coarse salt, and sugar. Cut chicken breasts in half crosswise. Add all chicken pieces to the brine; seal bag. Chill for minimum 2 to 4 hours; remove chicken from brine. Drain chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Discard brine.

2. In a large bowl combine flour, the 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon curry. Place well beaten 2 large eggs in a shallow dish and coat chicken with egg mixture. Dip in the flour mixture, now repeat for 2 coatings.

3. Meanwhile, in a deep, heavy Dutch oven or kettle, or a deep-fat fryer, heat 1-1/2 inches oil to 350 degrees F. Using tongs carefully add a few pieces of chicken to Dutch oven. (Oil temperature will drop; maintain temperature at 325 degrees F.) Fry chicken for 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F for breasts; 180 degrees F for thighs and drumsticks), and coating is golden, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Keep fried chicken warm in a 300 degree F oven while frying remaining chicken pieces. Makes 6 servings.
