COKE-BRINED FRIED CHICKEN
John Currence, of City Grocery in Oxford, Miss., spent a long time in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit, and was justly celebrated for his hard work there helping to rebuild a cathedral of Southern fried chicken, Willie Mae's Scotch House. In his 2013 cookbook, "Pickles, Pigs and Whiskey," Currence paid tribute to the wet batter used on Willie Mae's legendary dish. But for the purpose of weekend chicken warriors we have omitted it in our adaptation of his homage, concentrating instead on Currence's use of a Coke-based poultry brine that not only adds some sweetness to the chicken thighs he uses but mildly tenderizes them along the way. Let the meat sit in the brine for a few hours before using, but not so long as overnight, where it really begins to break down. Then dry the thighs, dredge them in seasoned flour, and fry in peanut oil, ideally enhanced by lard. The result is mahogany-brown chicken with a crisp crust and a luscious interior.

Steps:
- Make the brine: Combine cola, salt, thyme, garlic and hot sauce in a large metal bowl and stir until the salt has dissolved. Add the chicken thighs, cover and refrigerate 3 to 5 hours.
- Make the seasoned flour: In a wide, shallow bowl or pan, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put the peanut oil in a large heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees on a candy thermometer. While the oil heats, remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry. Dredge the thighs in the flour and shake to remove excess.
- Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, carefully lower thighs into the hot oil. The oil temperature will plummet when the cold chicken goes into the pan; turn up the heat and carefully monitor the temperature. Cook for a little more than 3 minutes on one side, a little more than 3 minutes on the other, and then a final 3 minutes on the first side. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel to drain.
- The juices should run clear when the chicken is poked with a knife. If necessary, transfer the browned chicken to a baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on a instant-read thermometer. Serve hot or at room temperature with hot sauce.

Steps:
- Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a large resealable gallon-sized plastic bag and add half of the can of cola, 2 sliced garlic cloves, 2 smashed ginger coin and 1/2 cup soy sauce. Seal the bag, put it in a rimmed dish and marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator, flipping the bag periodically for even distribution of the marinade.
- Make the glaze: Meanwhile, combine the sake with 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/3 cup water and the remaining 1/2 cup soy sauce, 4 sliced garlic cloves, and 2 smashed ginger coins in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes to develop flavor. Using a fork, stir the cornstarch in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce. Simmer the sauce for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and add 1 teaspoon vinegar. Cool to room temperature, then strain, discarding the solids. Set aside 1/4 cup for drizzling at the end.
- Make the pickled peppers: Place the sliced peppers in a medium bowl. Bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then pour over the peppers. Let sit 10 minutes, then drain. Return the peppers to the same bowl. Add 1/4 cup vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining tablespoon of brown sugar, and stir to dissolve. Set aside.
- Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Remove from the marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. (Discard the marinade.)
- Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
- Lightly sprinkle the chicken all over with salt and pepper, and place its cavity over the cola can so that the chicken is sitting upright. Carefully put the chicken on the can on the indirect side of the grill, with the back facing the hotter side. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the breast (avoiding the bone) reads 140 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes. Baste the chicken all over with the glaze and cover for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken so that the breast is facing the hotter side. Baste a second time, and cover again until the thermometer reads at least 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh, about 25 minutes more. Carefully remove from the grill and let rest 20 minutes before carving. Drizzle with some of the glaze and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve the pickled peppers on the side.
