1CubeMaggi Chicken Bouillon - Mashed and Dissolved in the 1/2 C water
1Whole Egg
1TblWhite Vinegar
1/2tspSea Salt & MSG
Instructions
Place 1 Maggi Bouillon Cube into a small saucepan and add 1/2 C water. Heat and dissolve the Bouillon cube, mashing it with a fork. Remove from heat, let cool, double check that you have 1/2 C before adding it to the Flour mix. If not, add more water.
Add to a bowl, JAH Poly Flour & Cornstarch, whisk well. Add Salt, MSG, 1/2 C of the Strong Broth, along with 1 Tbl of Vinegar, 1 Egg, and Whisk well.
Add your Chicken, mix, cover and keep refrigerated for 4 hours or more, overnight is best. (12 Hours) just like Popeyes. The Marinade will thicken when refrigerated, take it out 30 minutes or so to warm up a bit before breading. This will loosen the marinade which is ideal for breading to get those kernels, at the same time bringing the chicken to temp before deep frying.
Notes
If you want to more resemble Popeyes Marinade, then add Louisiana Cajun Seasoning and a small amount of authentic Louisiana Hot Sauce.
Extra Crispy Fried Chicken
For an even Crunchier Fried Chicken, add in 3 Tbl of Lupin Flakes into the Marinade. You will have to add a bit more water to account for the absorption. Just ensure that the marinade is a thin batter consistency before breading the Chicken. It does a Phenomenal job at creating even more pronounced Kernels, Golden Yellow Color and some serious Crunch.
