• Heat a large pot over a medium flame. When the pot just gets heated, add 4 cups of water, 10 ounces of kosher salt, and 1/3 cup light brown sugar. Whisk throughout until the salt and sugar crystals are completely dissolved; mix well for about for 5 minutes.
• Once done, add the cut chicken pieces to the sauce; remove from the flame, cover, and cool for 4 hours.
• Take a shallow baking dish. Take 4 cups of flour and 6 tablespoons of old bay seasoning and mix well with your fingers to evenly distribute the seasoning powder.
• In a medium-sized bowl, pour 3 cups of buttermilk. Take the chicken pieces out from the sauce and pat dry with paper towels.
• One by one, dip all the 8 chicken pieces into the buttermilk and drip off the excess. Then, coat the chicken in the flour mixture, press it firmly, and fill any cracks with flour, shaking off the excess.
• Place the chicken pieces on a wire rack and set inside a baking tray. Discard the now-wet flour mixture and repeat the process with chicken, buttermilk, old bay seasoning, and flour. Place them on another rack set inside a rimmed baking tray. Once done, leave it uncovered inside the refrigerator for 12-24 hours.

• Fit a large pot with the deep-fry thermometer and pour oil into it halfway up the sides. Heat over a medium-to-high flame to get the temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Now, deep-fry the chicken pieces in batches, turning them often with a wooden spatula or a tong. Adjust the heat to maintain the temperature.
