Rustic Canyon Family Meal Fried Chicken

Ingredients for Rustic Canyon Family Meal Fried Chicken

• 240ml mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)

• 240ml soy sauce

• 240ml unseasoned rice vinegar

• 120ml chopped peeled ginger

• 80g garlic cloves (20–25), smashed, peeled

• 1 (3 1/2–4-pound) chicken, cut into 10 pieces

• Vegetable oil (for frying

• about 375g )

• 250g plain flour

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more

• 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more

Combine mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a large resealable plastic bag and add chicken. Seal bag, turn to coat, and chill 2–12 hours.

Preheat oven to 177°C. Pour oil into a large cast-iron skillet to come 1" up sides. Heat over medium-high until an instant-read thermometer registers 177°C.

Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off; season all over with salt and pepper. Combine flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a shallow bowl or large resealable plastic bag; toss chicken in flour mixture to coat.

Working with 5 pieces of chicken at a time, remove chicken from flour, shaking off excess, and fry, turning, until golden brown all over, about 3 minutes. Lay chicken skin side up on a wire rack placed inside a rimmed baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 10–15 minutes. Season with salt.
