Instructions

  1. Put 3/4 cup salt, the sugar, and 4 cups cold water into a large bowl and stir to dissolve. Add chicken pieces, cover, and chill 1 to 2 hours.

  2. Drain chicken; pat dry. Pour oil into a heavy 6- to 8-qt. pot. Heat over medium-high heat until oil reaches 375 ° on a candy or deep-fry thermometer. Reduce heat to medium (oil will stay hot).

  3. Meanwhile, mix flour, baking powder, and pepper in a bowl. Coat chicken in mixture. Let sit 30 minutes; coat again. "The flour gets sticky again, and the second coat will stick to the first," Lee says. "It makes it extra crispy." (You can dredge up to 2 hours before frying.)
