Indiana/Hoosier Brined Fried Chicken
« Reply #-1 on: February 09, 2017, 10:39:24 AM »
I enjoyed having the local brined fried chicken for dinner last night at the Eagle here in Indianapolis. I am looking for some help. Does anyone have a good recipe for making this style of fried chicken? 

My sense is that the brining was done with a buttermilk base.  To finish the chicken they served a spicy honey that they make in-house.  Everything was great. This would be a great meal to cook in my air fryer.

Not sure what is the Hoosier way but in the Southeast SC and GA chicken pieces soak in buttermilk refrigerated for 6 hours or more.  No brine.
