Ingredients:
5 lb box of fryer chicken thighs, skin removed if you want lower fat. I leave the skin on for a good crispy crunch.
1-2 Tbsp hawaiian or kosher salt
1/4 cup garlic powder
2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
enough canola or vegetable oil for deep or pan frying.
Procedure:
- Season chicken with all seasonings.
- Roll chicken in flour until covered. Shake off excess flour. Sprinkle additional seasoning.
- Simply fry chicken in frying pan or deep fryer until golden brown in 15 minute batches. I like it crispy so I cook it a little longer than most. You can start out with the oil very hot(350 degrees F.) and then reduce it later. This seals in the moisture and flavor, then cooks it.
- Drain on paper towels and cool for 10 minutes to further cook it internally.
Enjoy!! Let's kaukau!! :)

hi reggie, we-JMom, Ting,you and i-are all on the same channel :D
love all your fried chicken posts! have you ever tried Frank's original red hot sauce?
i'm on the lookout for the Hawaiian rock salt, especially the pink!
great kaukau indeed!
hi stel! da food channel eh?!! lol :D no i havent tried Frank's orig red hot sauce but it was right next to my bottles of tabasco at my local Sam's Club. Other buffalo wings recipes use that brand too instead of tabasco. Il get a bottle and try it next time! :) hawn salt is very good and the pink or reddish one is even better. u can google hawn salt and there are lots of mail order companies that sell it online. This site has it: http://www.saltworks.us/shop/product.asp?idProduct=%2056
Alaea Hawaiian Sea Salt
Alaea is the traditional Hawaiian table salt used to season and preserve. Alaea Hawaiian Sea Salt is non-processed and rich in trace minerals, all of which are found in sea water. A small amount of harvested reddish Hawaiian clay (‘Alaea) enriches the salt with Iron-Oxide.
Traditionally Hawaiians use Alaea salt in ceremonies to cleanse, purify and bless tools and canoes, as well, in healing rituals for medicinal purposes.
Savor a unique and pleasant flavor while roasting or grilling meats. It is the traditional and authentic seasoning for native Hawaiian dishes such as Kalua Pig, Hawaiian Jerky and Poke.
good luck in hunting for it! If u really need some I can send you a bag. Just email me!
