CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Whisk the mustard and 2 cups water in a large bowl or wide pot until smooth; add the thyme sprigs. Add the chicken and onion, turning to coat well. Firmly press down so the chicken is just covered in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.
• Fill two 12-inch cast-iron skillets with about 2 1/2 inches oil each. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
• While the oil heats, make the breading: Put 3 cups flour in a large bowl. Remove 1/3 cup of the chicken marinade and add to the flour; stir until clumpy. Whisk in the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, paprika, dill, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Working with a few pieces at a time, remove the chicken and onion from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture, pressing with your hands to coat. Transfer to a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
• Carefully add about 5 pieces chicken to each skillet, then adjust the heat to keep the oil temperature between 300 degrees F and 325 degrees F. Fry, turning the chicken occasionally, until golden and crisp on the outside and no longer pink inside, 15 to 16 minutes. (A thermometer inserted into the chicken should register 160 degrees F for breasts and 170 degrees F for legs and thighs.) Remove with tongs and transfer to a clean rack set over a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Return the oil to 350 degrees F and fry the remaining chicken. Fry the onion 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken and onion to a platter.

ONION-RINGED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne and 4 teaspoons salt in a large glass bowl. Add the milk, parsley, sage and garlic.
• Slice the onions into 1/8-inch-thick rings with a mandoline or knife. Separate the rings and add to the milk mixture. Add the chicken, turning to distribute the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
• In a shallow baking dish, mix the flour, the remaining 1 tablespoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Place a rack on a baking sheet. Lift each piece of chicken from the milk mixture, roll in the flour mixture and place on the rack. Once all the pieces are floured, re-dip in the milk mixture and press some of the onions and herbs onto the chicken. Then, pressing the onions onto the chicken to hold them in place, roll the chicken in the flour again, pressing firmly so the onions become part of the breading. (You can re-dip a third time to add more onion, if you like.) Set the onion-coated chicken pieces on the rack.
• Heat about 3/4 inch of vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees. Add the chicken and fry, adjusting the heat as needed, until golden brown on one side, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn with tongs and cook until the chicken is golden all over and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees, about 8 more minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt.

DEEP SOUTH FRIED CHICKEN

• In a brown paper lunch bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Shake two chicken pieces in the bag to coat, and place them in the skillet. Repeat until all of the chicken is coated and in the skillet.
• Fry the chicken over medium-high heat until all of the pieces have been browned on both sides. Turn the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the lid, and increase heat to medium-high. Continue frying until chicken pieces are a deep golden brown, and the juices run clear.
