WINE NOTES
Sullivan Vineyards Red Ink: One of the more interesting styles of wine coming from California is a meritage. Meritage (pronounced like ‘heritage’) is American-style Bordeaux red wine, usually cabernet sauvignon-based that is blended with different amounts of merlot, malbec, petite verdot and cabernet franc. This wine is full of blue/black fruits and very rich. Great with this chicken and the confit.

                                    Louis Latour Chablis La Chanfleure: Chablis is chardonnay from the Chablis region of Burgundy. The climate is fairly northern and the dry, stony land gives a distinct ‘green’ flavor to these wines -- full of flint and sour apple. Great with salted and cured fish and meat as a wine that takes the back seat to the dish.

Spicy Fried Chicken

Serves 4 

  • 1 cup Master Curing Salt

  • 3 tablespoons Korean chile flake

  • 1 free range or organic chicken, broken down into pieces, bone-in

  • 2 cups cornmeal

  • 2 cups cornstarch

  • 1 lemon for squeezing

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • Canola oil for frying

 Mix Master Curing salt with 2 tablespoons chile.  In a large bowl, place chicken and curing mixture and toss to completely coat chicken.  Let stand in fridge for 1 hour.  Prepare a fryer or medium stockpot filled 1/3 of the way up with canola oil and heat to 325 degrees. Mix together the remaining 1-tablespoon chile with the cornmeal and cornstarch.  Wipe off the cure and toss chicken in cornmeal-cornstarch mix and fry until GB&D (golden brown and delicious).  Serve on a platter and squeeze lemon juice on top right before serving.
