Loved this recipe... I rarely try out TV recipes, but after seeing Sunny make this, I had to try it. Brining was my biggest discovery from this - it made the chicken so moist, tender, flavourful and delicious, and I will definitely be brining a lot of my meat going forward - the difference it made was incredible.
I also appreciated learning Sunny's chicken-frying technique - I thought her little tips made the process so much easier and yielded good results... and I love how the flavour of the lime permeated the entire dish - it tasted fresh and tangy, and I loved it. I will definitely be trying this one out again.

Maybe my chicken pieces were too big, but I had to cook them for so long that the crust wound up charring kind of. I wasn't terribly disappointed about this, we just tore off the crust. The meat itself was very tasty although I wish I tasted the lime, which I didn't. My boyfriend didn't even know I brined it in lime juice. I have faith in this recipe and will try it one more time with a little more lime juice and smaller pieces. Hopefully it will come out with a five star rating.

After brining and rubbing and resting, I expected to be dazzled. This was good but I wasn't dazzled. I was impressed with the crust-- it was restaurant quality, but as for the flavor, the ancho chiles kind of dominated the taste and not in a good way (and I like ancho chiles...

Tasty? Pretty big understatement. I'm sure I did not perform this task with the ease and style of Sunny, but it pleased everyone that put there mouth too it! Right up my alley! Try it! As a suburban white male, I'll be the first to admit that I am not the most soulful or skilled fryer of chicken, but this recipe has given me a new found confidence and flavor! Thanks Sunny, great recipe!

Hi Sunny! I love your show!Your recipes are practical as well as soulful! I must admit, I have been reluctant to try your fried chicken.It always looked good, but 2 days for fried chicken? Especially when Harold's Chicken Shack is on the way home.(Shout out to Chi-Town! Saturday night my hubby and I brined some chx. I thought why not give Sunny's recipe a try. Sunday, it was a family affair. My husband, my niece,and myself went to work, laziness must be a family trait!...."You want me to do what with these dried peppers!" That was the best fried chx I have ever tasted!...in Sunny's words"you gotta try these recipes".
