There isn't any cola in this recipe. The name comes from the coke ovens it was cooked in.unknown source

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons ground ginger
3 tablespoons ground sage
2 tablespoon salt
3 pounds bone in, skin on chicken pieces, split breasts cut in half, drumsticks, and/or thighs, trimmed
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
pinch baking soda
3 to 4 quarts vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. stir the buttermilk, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, 1 tablespoon of the sage, and the salt together in a large bowl. Submerge the chicken completely in the buttermilk mixture, cover, and refrigerate for one hour.
  • 2. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons ginger, remaining 2 tablespoon sage, the flour, onion powder, sugar, pepper, and baking soda together in a shallow dish.
  • 3. Remove the chicken from the brine and, working with three pieces at a time, dredge in the flour mixture, shake off the excess and transfer to the prepared wire rack. Refrigerate, uncovered for two hours.
  • 4. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200°. Pour the oil into a large Dutch oven until it measures 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350° over medium high heat. Add half of the chicken pieces to the pot, skin side down. Cover and cook, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature of 325° until deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 5. After two minutes, check the chicken pieces for even browning and rearrange if some pieces are Browning faster than others. Turn the chicken pieces over and continue to cook, uncovered, until deep golden brown and fully cooked, 160 -- 165° for breasts and 175° for thighs or drumsticks on an instant read thermometer, 4 to 7 minutes longer. Drain the chicken briefly a large paper towel lined plate, then transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Return the oil to 350° over medium high heat and repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Serve. Serves four note: ginger and sage add a nice twist to this otherwise classic fried chicken. Air drying the chicken after dredging it produces a crispier crust, while adding a pinch of baking soda lightens it up.

COKE-BRINED FRIED CHICKEN



Coke-Brined Fried Chicken image

John Currence, of City Grocery in Oxford, Miss., spent a long time in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit, and was justly celebrated for his hard work there helping to rebuild a cathedral of Southern fried chicken, Willie Mae's Scotch House. In his 2013 cookbook, "Pickles, Pigs and Whiskey," Currence paid tribute to the wet batter used on Willie Mae's legendary dish. But for the purpose of weekend chicken warriors we have omitted it in our adaptation of his homage, concentrating instead on Currence's use of a Coke-based poultry brine that not only adds some sweetness to the chicken thighs he uses but mildly tenderizes them along the way. Let the meat sit in the brine for a few hours before using, but not so long as overnight, where it really begins to break down. Then dry the thighs, dredge them in seasoned flour, and fry in peanut oil, ideally enhanced by lard. The result is mahogany-brown chicken with a crisp crust and a luscious interior.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 cups Coca-Cola
1 tablespoon kosher salt
10 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
4 teaspoons mild hot sauce like Crystal, Texas Pete or Cholula
8 to 12 chicken thighs, preferably free-range, organic
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups peanut oil
1 cup lard, optional, or replace with peanut oil
Hot sauce

Steps:

  • Make the brine: Combine cola, salt, thyme, garlic and hot sauce in a large metal bowl and stir until the salt has dissolved. Add the chicken thighs, cover and refrigerate 3 to 5 hours.
  • Make the seasoned flour: In a wide, shallow bowl or pan, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put the peanut oil in a large heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees on a candy thermometer. While the oil heats, remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry. Dredge the thighs in the flour and shake to remove excess.
  • Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, carefully lower thighs into the hot oil. The oil temperature will plummet when the cold chicken goes into the pan; turn up the heat and carefully monitor the temperature. Cook for a little more than 3 minutes on one side, a little more than 3 minutes on the other, and then a final 3 minutes on the first side. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel to drain.
  • The juices should run clear when the chicken is poked with a knife. If necessary, transfer the browned chicken to a baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on a instant-read thermometer. Serve hot or at room temperature with hot sauce.

Tips:

  • Brining the chicken: Brining the chicken in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar helps to tenderize and flavor the meat. You can brine the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Using a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet is the best choice for cooking coke oven fried chicken because it retains heat well and evenly cooks the chicken.
  • Cooking the chicken over medium-high heat: Cooking the chicken over medium-high heat helps to create a crispy crust while keeping the inside of the chicken moist.
  • Basting the chicken: Basting the chicken with the cooking oil helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can also baste the chicken with a mixture of your favorite spices or herbs.
  • Using a meat thermometer: Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Coke oven fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create a crispy, flavorful, and juicy chicken that your family and friends will love.
