Ingredients for Pickle-Brined Fried Chicken

• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds

• 1 tablespoon brown mustard seeds

• 1 e 1/2 cucchiaini di semi di coriandolo

• 1 cup apple cider vinegar

• 160ml kosher salt

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

• 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1.4kg ), halved, quartered if large

• Olio vegetale (per friggere

• about 2400ml )

• 475 ml di latticello

• 475ml di farina semplice

• Sale kosher

• Honey, flaky sea salt (such as Maldon), toasted benne or sesame seeds, hot sauce (for serving)

• Un termometro per frittura

Toast mustard and coriander seeds in a dry medium saucepan over medium heat, tossing often, until mustard seeds begin to pop, about 3 minutes. Add vinegar, salt, and sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until salt and sugar are dissolved, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in dill and 4 cups water. Let cool.

Place chicken and brine in a large resealable plastic bag; chill 3 hours. Remove chicken from brine, scraping off seeds, cover, and chill until ready to fry.

Fit a large pot with thermometer and pour in oil to measure 2". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 177°C.

Meanwhile, place buttermilk in a large bowl. Place flour in another large bowl; season with kosher salt. Working in batches, coat chicken in buttermilk, then dredge in flour, dipping your fingers in buttermilk as you pack flour on to help create moistened, shaggy bits (the makings of a super-crisp crust); transfer to a baking sheet.

Working in batches and returning oil to 350° between batches, fry chicken, turning occasionally, until skin is deep golden brown and crisp and chicken is cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet.

Drizzle chicken with honey; sprinkle with sea salt and benne seeds. Serve with hot sauce alongside.
