Ad Hoc Fried Chicken Kit

Our exclusive Ad Hoc seasonings and dressings make it simple for home cooks to make some of Thomas Keller’s favorites from his Napa Valley restaurant. The fried chicken recipe calls for brining, then double battering the chicken pieces. The brine, seasoned with fresh herbs and lemon, adds delicate flavor while keeping the meat tender and juicy. For a crispy golden crust, the chicken is twice dredged in a savory coating spiced with garlic, paprika and cayenne pepper before frying. For best flavor, brine for 8-12 hours. Includes two packets of brine seasonings and two packets of coating mix (makes 16–20 pieces); 2 lb. 2 oz. total. Recipe included. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
