Comment préparer Batter Fried Chicken From Cook's Illustrated

Whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup cold water, 1 tablespoon salt, and 2 teaspoons sugar in a large bowl until salt and sugar dissolve.
Add 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, breasts) to the buttermilk mixture. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper until smooth. Add 1 cup ice water gradually, whisking constantly until batter is smooth.
Refrigerate batter while chicken is brining.
Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Remove chicken from buttermilk brine, discarding the brine. Pat chicken pieces very dry with paper towels.
Rewhisk the batter.
Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, gently transfer to the hot oil (don't overcrowd the pot).
Fry chicken in batches, adjusting burner as necessary to maintain oil temperature between 300°F (150°C) and 325°F (165°C). Fry until deep golden brown and white meat registers 160°F (70°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 12-15 minutes per batch.
Remove chicken from oil and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
Repeat steps 8-10 with remaining chicken, ensuring oil returns to 350°F (175°C) between batches.
Serve immediately. For reheating, place chicken on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and warm in a preheated 450°F (230°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
