Dateline: April 24, 2021 Experimental Dinner: Air Fried Chicken Thighs

I know, I know, I visited the website Modernist Pantry and saw a demo of air fried chicken, ordered the components and decided to give it a go.

I should have been more attentive to the recipe, there was an error, that I unfortunately didn't notice until after I made the breading..... live and learn.

The error was in printing the weight of the AP flour as 600 g, but it was supposed to be 60 grams.  So I have a big bag of stuff that didn't work out so well.

I brined the chicken first in a buttermilk brine with Worcestershire sauce, powdered hot sauce, salt, pepper, marjoram, thyme, and vinegar powder.  That part went well.  

Next came the breading procedure.  The products that I ordered were Evercrisp and Batter Binder S.  These are designed to 1) hold the batter on the product and 2) provide a long lasting crisp on the food.  Neither worked, which I attribute to the stupid error in the recipe and I will have to try again.

The taste was pretty good, hit of spice came through and the crispy parts were crispy, but the batter did not adhere very well.  The vegetables were good, they were steamed!

I have to admit, the photo makes them look really good!
