Fried Chicken 


Serves: 4-6

Cook time: 25 minutes

Prep time: 30-45 minutes (not including marinating time)


Marinade: 


  • 3-4 bone-in chicken drumsticks

  • 3-4 bone-in chicken thighs 

  • 3-4 whole chicken wings 

  • 2.5 cups (593ml) buttermilk

  • 1.5 tablespoons (23g) garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoons (10g) onion powder 

  • 1 tablespoon (15g) celery powder 

  • 1 tablespoon (15g) cayenne powder 

  • 1 tablespoon (15g) white pepper powder

  • 2.5 tablespoons (38g) kosher salt 

  • 1.5 teaspoons (6g) MSG 

  • 2.5 teaspoons (13g) smoked paprika 


Dredge


  • 2.5 cups (375g) all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup (96g) potato starch 

  • 2.5 tablespoons (38g) kosher salt, plus more to taste

  • 1 tablespoon (15g) mushroom soup base powder

  • 1 tablespoon (15g) garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon (5g) white pepper powder 

  • 1 teaspoon (5g) celery powder 

  • 2 teaspoons (10g) cayenne powder

  • 1 teaspoon (5g) smoked paprika 

  • 1 teaspoon (5g) dried thyme, crushed between fingers

  • Fresh cracked black pepper, for finishing


Fried Chicken


  • 3 quarts (2.8L) vegetable oil


Method:


  1. To make the marinade, in a large mixing bowl combine all the marinade ingredients except the chicken pieces, and whisk until fully incorporated.  Add your chicken, toss together and make sure some marinade gets under the skin.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or ideally overnight. 

  2. Once your chicken is marinated, fill a 6-8 quart heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with vegetable oil, making sure that your pot does not fill beyond around the halfway point, and heat to 350°F (176°C).

  3. For your dredge, in a separate large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.  Drizzle a few tablespoons of your marinade into the flour mixture, and toss to create little balls of dredge.  This is not mandatory but it will create the extra crispy flakes on the outside of your fried chicken. 

  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and toss in your dredge. Press the chicken into the dredge aggressively to coat it thoroughly. Once completely coated, shake off the excess and place on a baking sheet that has been dusted with the dredge.  Repeat with the rest of your chicken.

  5. Once the oil is at temperature, gently add the chicken in batches (3 pieces per batch maximum), and fry, stirring occasionally, for about 5-8 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reads 165°F (73°C).  Using tongs or a spider, transfer your cooked chicken to a wire rack or paper towel-lined baking tray to drain off excess oil and season very lightly with salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy.

While the '60s original has one of the major link chronograph movements of the day inside it – the link manually wound Valjoux 23 – Massena's new project draws on the Sellita SW 510 M. This manually wound caliber ensures that the Uni-Racer is wound by hand, of course, just like the Universal that inspired it, while allowing for a slightly link slimmer profile than would be possible with a modern full-rotor automatic chronograph. "I wanted a good, modern, reliable movement for this watch," Massena says.

The biggest watch surprise came in the show's second installment. Each episode features an old-style commercial in the spirit of what might have aired on television during that time. For link example, the '90s episode featured an animated kids' yogurt-themed ad, and the '50s one had an ad for a toaster. link But the '60s commercial went over the top with a watch ad for the fictional "Strücker" watch. Check it link out below.
