Procedures
Step One
Add chicken along with the brine ingredients to a container. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Step Two
Add the additional spice rub to the flour. Remove the chicken from the brine. Shake off excess and roll in the flour, shaking off the lot.
Step Three
Heat cooking oil to 350 degrees, no more than 375 degrees. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Do not overcrowd the frying pan. Fry the chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Meanwhile, add all ingredients for the sauce into a saucepan. Stir and reduce by half over medium heat.

Remove the chicken from the oven and baste with the hot sauce.
