PICNIC FRIED CHICKEN
For our family, it's not a picnic unless there's fried chicken! Chicken, deviled eggs and potato salad are all musts for a picnic as far as my husband is concerned. This is a "Golden Oldie" recipe for me-I've used it any number of times. -Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana

FOURTH OF JULY FRIED PICNIC CHICKEN
This recipe hails from my great-grandmother, Clara. In all the years I've been cooking and trading recipes, I've never seen [or tasted] fried chicken like this! It's simply the best I've ever had, hot or cold!

Steps:
- 1. MARINADE: • 1 Fryer Chicken cut into 8 pieces, skin on, trimmed of excess fat [if you have additional drumsticks or breasts, use them--- it's the best out of the bunch!] • Buttermilk [enough to cover & marinate the chicken in a glass baking dish or bowl] • Apple Cider Vinegar [1 tablespoon per piece of chicken used in the marinating process] • Louisiana Hot Sauce [1 dash per piece of chicken during marinating--- personally, I prefer Crystal® Brand] • 3 tablespoons Kosher Salt • Peanut Oil [approximately ¾ gallon] • 8 to 10 slices toasted Wonder® White Bread
- 2. SEASONED FLOUR: • 1 cup Bisquick® Baking Mix • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Salt [fine] • 1 teaspoon Ground White Pepper • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 3. BATTER: • 1 cup Bisquick® Baking Mix • ½ cup Self Rising Flour • 1¼ cup Whole Milk • 3 tablespoons Accent® Seasoning • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt • 1 tablespoon Cracked Black Pepper • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder • 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt • 1 teaspoon Dried Marjoram • ½ teaspoon Dried, Ground Sage • ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper • ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- 4. FINAL COAT: • 1 cup Medium Grind Bulgur Wheat • 1 ½ cups Campbell's® Condensed Chicken Broth, do not add 1 can water, use condensed • 15 Nabisco® Premium Saltine Crackers [Salted Tops] • 1 tablespoon Finely Ground Cornmeal • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 5. STEP 1: • Place chicken pieces into glass baking dish [or bowl]. Spoon 1 tablespoon vinegar over each piece and then one dash Louisiana hot sauce. Cover entire chicken with buttermilk followed by a generous sprinkling of kosher salt over each individual part. Refrigerate/marinate for at least 10 hours; overnight is best.
- 6. STEP 2: • Create the "Final Coat" by bringing chicken broth to a boil. Add bulgur and cayenne, cover and set aside [off heat]. • When bulgur has absorbed all the broth [about 20 minutes]; if the bulgur is fluffy, but there is residual liquid, simply discard, and cover for a few more minutes. Remove lid and "fluff" with a fork, then folding in the cornmeal and the saltines [which have been crushed into fine crumbs], delicately combining the ingredients until it looks like wet sand. • Immediately proceed to "Step 3".
- 7. STEP 3: • Make the "Batter" by combining the Bisquick®, flour, milk, Accent®, salt, pepper and spices; mix until smooth. If the batter is not the consistency of pancake batter, either add more flour or milk. Set aside and proceed to "Step 4".
- 8. STEP 4: • Preheat peanut oil in large cast iron skillet to 280 to 300 degrees. • Remove chicken pieces from marinade and pat completely dry with paper towels. Discard used marinade. • Combine "Seasoned Flour" ingredients [Bisquick®, cornstarch, salt, white pepper and onion powder]. Coat each piece of chicken thoroughly and then dip each piece, completely covering with the batter. • After the first piece is battered, roll in the "Final Coat" and set aside. • Repeat until all the chicken is floured, battered and coated. Don't let chicken stand too long before proceeding to "Step 5".
- 9. STEP 5: • Using tongs, place chicken pieces in skillet; do not crowd, leaving at least 1" on all sides of the chicken. Because time is of the essence, my great-grandmother used two skillets frying simultaneously. I like to fry drumsticks and thighs together, and breasts and wings at the same time, the latter two parts frying the quickest. • Do not stir or move chicken around during this process; if the temperature is maintained, the oil will do all the work for you. • Fry for about 8 minutes and then turn each piece and continue to fry for another 5 to 9 minutes; you'll know when it's done . . . it's the color of heaven! Golden and glorious!
- 10. STEP 6: • Drain each piece of hot, fried chicken on a piece of toast [you'll thank me later!] and let stand for at least 5 minutes before service. I, however, love eating this delicacy straight from the icebox the next day. It's great for hangovers, too!

Steps:
- For the honey giardiniera butter: Add the butter, honey and salt to taste to a bowl and mix until smooth. Stir in the giardiniera until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the chicken: Add the chicken thighs, reserved giardiniera brine and pickle brine to a plastic zip-top bag and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
- When ready to fry the chicken, fill a Dutch oven halfway full with oil and heat to 350°F.
- Set up a dredging station: Pour the buttermilk into a large bowl and in a separate large bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne until well combined. Use your tongs to drizzle some of the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture.
- Remove 1 or 2 pieces of the chicken from the brine at a time and submerge in the buttermilk. Add 1 piece of the buttermilk-soaked chicken at a time into the flour mixture and turn to completely coat the chicken. Transfer to a plate and repeat until all the remaining chicken is well coated.
- Add the chicken to the hot oil in batches, 2 or 3 pieces at a time, and cook until brown and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack on a baking sheet to drain. Serve immediately with the giardiniera butter or let cool and store on a wire-rack on a sheet pan, lightly covered, in the fridge overnight. Serve at the picnic at room temp. Served with softened honey giardiniera butter.
