Deep Fry Batter
1 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c milk
1/2 c + 1 Tbsp hot water
3 T veg oil
Combine all. Mix well. This can be used right away but I always make it the day before and keep in a covered bowl in the fridge. This creates the lightest crispiest batter I've found. I've also experimented with different flours using 1 cup all purpose, 1/4 cup whole wheat and 1/4 cup rye flour. So good!

Coke Brined Grilled Chicken
FOR THE CHICKEN AND BRINE--
1 whole chicken (4-6 lb.)
1 liter coca-cola
1/2 cup kosher salt
FOR THE RUB
Combine -- rub over chicken and grill:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons paprika
1 SERVE WITH:
Bourbon BBQ or Sweet Carolina Dipping Sauce
Spatchcock the chicken. Poke about 6 holes in the underside of each chicken half--this helps the brine to soak deeply into the meat. Combine the Coke and salt in a large resealable plastic bag, stirring to dissolve the salt. Place the chicken halves in the brine, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Preheat the grill to high.
Combine the rub ingredients in a bowl. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels (discard the brine). Rub the paste over the chicken, then let it stand for 15 minutes.
Turn 1 side of the grill to low (maintain high heat on the other side). Arrange both chicken halves on the low-heat section, skin side down. Top the halves with a cast iron skillet and a brick. Cover and grill for 10 minutes, then rotate the chicken 45°. Reposition the skillet and brick on the chicken; grill for 10 more minutes, or until skin is crispy and brown.
Flip the chicken over and grill, without weight, for 20-30 minutes, or until it's 180° in the thigh.
Serve chicken with dipping sauces.
