Pollos Hermanos from "Breaking Bad" Recipe (with Video)

1. Into a small bowl, combine cayenne pepper, Aleppo pepper, ground coriander, and your red pepper flakes that have been ground in a spice grinder. Whisk to combine.
2. Set aside a few tablespoons as a seasoning for the signature curly fries. Turn the rest into a dry brine for the chicken by adding 15 grams of kosher salt. Whisk to combine.
3. Using a whole chicken, cut into the classic 10 piece fried chicken pieces.
4. Load the pieces onto a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and generously sprinkle on all sides with the dry-brine mixture. Place in the fridge uncovered for 4-24 hours.
5. For the batter, in a medium bowl combine 100 grams each of all-purpose flour and cornstarch, an optional sprinkle of the spice mixture, 250 grams of water, 30 grams of vodka, and 2 large eggs. Whisk together until a pancake batter consistency is reached. Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
6. Using the batter, along with a pie pan of flour, dunk each piece of chicken into the flour followed by the batter making sure each piece is thoroughly coated. Rinse and repeat for all chicken pieces.
7. In a 375°F pot of frying oil, carefully place the chicken pieces into the oil (facing away from you, no splashes!) and frying 7-10 minutes depending on the size of the piece. Turn every other minute or so to make sure no scorching is developing. Once golden brown and 175-185°F for dark meat, 165°F for white meat, remove.
8. Drain and cool on a paper towel-lined baking sheet before serving.
