Just curious; what's the advantage of SVing chicken this way?

Pete,

The meat remains more succulent and tender by doing SV first. I will say it was some of the moistest fried chicken I've ever eaten.

Restaurant review in the morning paper featured a restaurant that prepares Crispy Berkshire Pork "sous vide". Sounded delicious. If it ever quits snowing, we'll go. Amy, you've really piqued my curiosity.

Fitzie,

Pork is an absolute natural for SV. I've done it and been really, really happy with the results.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but...

How funny! A while back, I wanted to try the Ad Hoc fried chicken recipe, but having had bad luck with chicken that browned long before it was fully cooked inside, I decided to sous vide it first. It was very time consuming, but worked quite well. 8-)

For what it's worth, I didn't care for the non-traditional lemon-herb flavor of the Keller brine, but the sous vide idea did cook the chicken perfectly.

Yah, the ad hoc recipe definitely tends to have the problem (browning; the brine I very much like). I think the 'trick' is using quite small chickens (as they recommend) which can be difficult to get. Here Halal chickens tend to be very small so I use them. I'd be curious as to the size you used.

And indeed fried chicken and SV go together very well.
