This chicken is crispy and flavorful, yet is also gluten free and diabetic friendly!
1 fryer chicken, cut 8 ways
½ cup salt
4 cups hot water
4 cups ice
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
In a large pot or bowl, combine water, salt, garlic and onion and mix until all of the salt has dissolved.
Add ice and the chicken pieces to the brine and ensure all of the chicken is submerged. Add a little extra water if necessary. Refrigerate chicken in the brine for 4 -6 hours. Make spice seasoning by combining black pepper, cayenne pepper and chili powder. Drain chicken and place on paper towels and blot thoroughly dry with more paper towels. Fry the
