Use the following recipe to create a great marinade for fried chicken! Here's what you'll need:
- 3-4 tbsp. Garlic Chipotle Hot Sauce
- 1 lime (juice of)
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 large Eggss
- 1/3 cup half and half (10 percent milk fat)
- 2 whole bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
To make the marinade, add the Garlic Chipotle Hot Sauce to a small mixing bowl. Squeeze the lime and add the salt. Add the eggs and whisk together. To finish, whisk in the half and half, and set aside.
Lay the chicken breast-side down. Using a heavy chef's knife, carefully cut down the middle through the breast bone. Trim off the rib bones and any excess fat. Cut the breast in two. As you cut each breast, add the pieces to the marinade.
Stir to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 6 hours, preferably 24 hours. Half way through marinating, give it a toss to evenly coat.
After marinading the chicken, use your favorite method of coating (bread crumbs, flour) and shallow-fry in peanut oil for best results.
