Delicious, Crispy, Tender, Juicy, Fried Chicken!

Make a brine consisting of 4 cups water, 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup sugar, 8 to 10 peppercorns, 1 slice of lemon, 1 clove of garlic
and a couple bay leaves.

Bring the brine to a boil and simmer for a minute or 2 just to dissolve the salt and sugar. Cool it off. You can even toss in
a few ice cubes to help cool it.

Make as many batches or 1/2 batches you need to cover the chicken you are going to prepare.

Once the brine is cold pour it over your chicken and brine it in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours. It is OK as well to brine it over night.

Remove chicken from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels.
Let it rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.

Dredge the chicken in a breading made of 1 cup bread flour,
1 cup rice flour, 1 tbsp. cornstarch, 1 tsp. pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt.

Fry the chicken in oil at 300 to 325 degrees until chicken is golden brown. Place the chicken on a baking rack (not paper towels) and finish it in the oven at 350 degrees until all the pieces reach 165 degrees.

Let it rest for about 20 to 25 minutes before serving because
it will hold heat for a long time.

Enjoy!

I just learned of Steve’s passing. In his honor, I made this chicken tonight. It was truly the best fried chicken our family has ever eaten. Just fantastic! I wish I’d have had the honor of meeting Steve. Well, thanks to the internet we can still watch and learn from one of America’s all around great guys and country chef. Blessings.

Steve was so great. I learned a lot from him. We all did. He is greatly missed for sure.

Today has been an exceptionally sh*tty day...
Kinda nice to sit back and watch Steve cook, share his love of cooking and food.
I sure enjoy his videos, I can’t imagine how much more so for those who were close to him.
I miss a man I never had the opportunity to meet... I’m so thankful he took the time to share his life and love here, so thankful this channel has continued with the two lovely ladies we have today.

Just joined your channel recently, looking forward to many new recipes to come. Then I found out that Shotgun passed. My heart goes out to Ms. Shella and his entire family. He was such an energetic, entertaining, informative, happy man! Wish I could have stopped by Tennessee to say hello. I'm so glad to see Ms. Shella continuing the channel. Shotgun would be proud. Keep up the outstanding work! Especially in these current times, you make things a lot easier for many people. I've been bingeing your videos over the last few days while stuck at home, and it's as if Shotgun and Ms. Shella are right in my kitchen giving me cooking tips all day, every day. God bless you all.

I am a vegetarian and I love this channel! It has really helped me step up my cooking skills over the years. RIP Steve & and many blessings to you Sheila! 💞🦋🙏🏼

[Momma-angela]

I love these videos and really wish we could’ve met and/or knew y’all! Steve is such a happy, sweet, lovable guy and I am sure about this because I can hear it in his voice. Especially when he talks to Shelia, I love to hear him say your name Sheila! I think it’s because somehow I can hear his love for you when he talks to or about you and I’m sure I’ve said this on another video, sorry to repeat myself, but it’s so true! Thank you for keeping his channel going, wish I had found it sooner so I could’ve personally thanked Steve.

[evelyn]

Wow!!! Thanks for this video, that looks good. I needed some tips on how to make my chicken more moist & crispier! My husband and boys are gonna be super happy.

Dude his commentating was spot on, if he was still alive and went with a real high quality setup he would def be in the top YouTube cooking shows, he can cook and entertain you at the same time. RIP Steve, wish you were still here!!

I had a stroke in May (5/13/2022)! God didn't take me because he already Has an Awesome cook! You ladies keep up the great work! I cooked a 5 lb chicken in my Ip. Using Steve's brine with some Rosemary and Thyme was awesome. I'm not brave enough to fry a chicken yet but as soon as I am it will be Steve's recipie! Thank you Mrs. Sheila for (and Jen) for keeping him going!

[murray]

Truthfully watching steve all this time and watching the ladies knowing steve was gone was really hard for me. But the more i watch the ladies the more i realise they miss him to. The two ladies are so fun to watch....they often share stories about steve. Makes me cry writing this. I love this show...they make me feel like part of the family. I haven't seen my family in 5 years.

[bobgastineau]

this turned out great. thanks Steve and Sheila!
