That turned out pretty good. I boiled the prosciutto for an hour and a half before adding the collards, so it was falling apart when we ate it. The hush puppies also turned out moist and melty, as I&#8217;m sure using a teaspoon of bacon fat didn&#8217;t hurt that. <\/p>\n<p>The chicken was another story. I soaked it in a buttermilk brine for 40 minutes, rather than the 2 hours recommended by Cooks Illustrated. Then I made the mistake of putting too many pieces into the deep fryer at once. The temperature did not stay at the requisite 325, but fell to 225 rather quickly as I dropped the thigh in the fryer. Next time I&#8217;ll do the slow but effective one piece at a time maneuver, or get an outdoor deep fryer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday night I made fried chicken using a recipe similar to this one from Cooks Illustrated, collards and hush puppies from this site.
