Southerner Makes Fried Chicken for the First Time | Cooking with Brontez

Описание: Born and raised in the deep South, host Brontez Purnell embarks on a belated rite of passage by making fried chicken for the first time. With the help of friends chef Leif Hedendahl and Sophia Wang, Brontez follows a recipe that calls for pickle juice and pepperoncini brine, as well as traditional buttermilk and seasoned flour coating. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and at the end of the night, you’ll be eating a crispy, tangy, and moist piece of chicken on Brontez’s back porch in Oakland.
