Ingredients

The Chicken

8-12 Chicken breast fillets (100g - 125g each)

For the Spice Blend

3 Tsp Paprika
2 Tsp Onion salt
1 Tsp Dried sage
1 Tsp Garlic powder
1 Tsp Oregano
1 Tsp Cayenne pepper
1 Tsp Cracked black pepper
1 Tsp Dried basil
1 Tsp Dried marjoram
1 Tsp Dried coriander

For the Curing Brine

100g Dairy or Kosher salt (any non-iodated salt is fine)
1 Tsp Whole black peppercorns
1 Corn of whole allspice
12.5g Saltpetre
1 Tsp Ginger
50g Sugar
15g Bicarbonate of soda

Other

2 Cups all purpose flour
4-6 eggs lightly beaten

Instructions

Mix the curing brine discussed in episode 1, bring it to a boil stirring frequently, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the brine from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
Take 8 to 12 chicken breasts of 100 to 125g each and place them in a large sterilized container.
Pour the curing brine over the breasts, put the lid on the container and allow the breasts to cure in your refrigerator for 12 hours. The reason for time being half that of the chicken pieces is that there is no skin, and the surface area of the breast is far bigger, and the meat is thinner.
After 12 hours, combine the second half of the spice mix with 2 cups of all purpose flour and lightly beat the eggs.
Sprinkle a solid layer of the spice mix over the surface of a large platter.
Remove the chicken from the brine and tap the breasts down to an even thickness of 10mm or just under half an inch using your meat mallet.
To coat the fillets, dredge them in the seasoned flour then dip them in the egg making sure to wet all of the flour.
Dredge them in the flour again making sure to get a good solid coating.
Transfer the coated chicken to the floured platter and allow the coating to set for 20 minutes.
Fill your pan with oil to a depth of 25mm or 1 inch and heat this to 150c or 300f.
Carefully lower a few breasts into the pan and fry them for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
Remove the fillets from the oil and keep warm in a low oven until the remaining breasts are fried.
To serve, butter the buns, top the lower half with shredded lettuce, then top each of these with chicken.
Top the chicken with tangy mayonnaise, followed by the top of the bun then serve immediately.
