Ad Hoc at Home

By Thomas Keller
Artisan - 2009

It's stunning. I actually didn't find it particularly hard either. You always have to marinate good fried chicken - the only extra step was heating the brine to boiling and then letting it steep and cool. Well, worth the effort. I had a tough time keeping the oil at the right temperature but all turned out fine. Oh, and I ignored the direction to cook each piece separate. Just cooked the white and dark on their own and didn't overcrowd the pot.

I have to admit - I cheated. I had my butcher grind the meats together for me. On top of that I used a Marcella Hazan recipe for a very simple tomato sauce. Regardless, these were delicious. The consistency and spices are great. Just what you would expect from Mr. Keller!
