GLAZED FRIED CHICKEN WITH OLD BAY AND CAYENNE

Steps:

• Chicken:
• Heat salt, brown sugar, and 4 cups water in a large pot over medium, whisking, until salt and sugar dissolve, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce and 8 cups ice water. Add chicken to brine, cover, and chill 4 hours.
• Combine 2 cups flour and 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning in a shallow baking dish and toss with your fingers to evenly distribute seasoning. Place buttermilk in a medium bowl. Remove chicken from brine and pat dry with paper towels.
• Working one at a time, dip 8 pieces of chicken in buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in flour mixture, packing all around chicken and pressing firmly into cracks and crevices; shake off excess. Place chicken on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Discard flour mixture, which will be wet at this point, and repeat process with remaining flour, Old Bay, buttermilk, and chicken; place on another wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Chill, uncovered, 12-24 hours.
• Glaze and assembly:
• Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Heat lard, Old Bay, paprika, and cayenne in a small saucepan over low, stirring, until lard is melted, about 3 minutes. Set glaze aside.
• Pour oil into a large pot fitted with deep-fry thermometer to come halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 325°. Working in 4 batches, fry chicken, turning often with tongs and adjusting heat to maintain temperature, until skin is deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 165° for dark meat and 160° for white meat, 10-12 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken back to wire racks and let rest 5 minutes. Brush lightly with glaze (reheat glaze, if needed) and let cool. Store on racks at room temperature up to 3 hours ahead.

OLD BAY ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix together all of the ingredients for the seasoning paste. Use enough olive oil to make a wet paste. Set aside
• Remove the backbone from the chicken - use a sharp knife to cut along each side of the backbone/spine. Remove the back bone and reserve for making soup or broth. Use the knife to gently crack the breast bone so that it can sit flat on the sheetpan.Note: You can use the chicken whole but the cook time will increase.
• Place the chicken on a sheetpan lined with a silicone liner, parchemnt paper or aluminum foil.
• Season the chicken all over with the wet paste.
• Bake/roast the chicken for 45 to 60 minutes until lightly brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 to 175 degrees.Note: Bake the chicken with the breast side up.
• Remove the chicken from the oven. Use a brush to coat the chicken breast with any pan drippings. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting.
• Cut the chicken into your desired serving size pieces. Garnish with old bay seasoning if desired. Plate, serve and enjoy!
