Pressure cooker, I've been thinking about those, are you talking about those ones that you can get from the department store? I've heard KFC use pressure fryers, and that's got me thinking on the whole pressure cooker idea. I'm guessing you'd use enough oil to deep fry, but how long would it take to fry the chicken vs a pan or regular deep fryer?
As for pan frying, I'm thinking of ordering this http://www.kitchenwaredirect.com.au/Bakers-Secret-Candy-Deep-Fry-Thermometer
Lazy Mans Oven Fried Chicken---
Overnight buttermilk soak, put 1/3-1/2 cup oil on baking sheet, dredge chicken in flour/spice mixture of your choice (I use weber beer can chicken spice, and granulated garlic). Put in oven @ 400 for about 25-30 minutes (or until golden brown) flip and repeat. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fav hot powder. Results.......

Ice water brine.

Those are some really good looking chicken Beerbreath I'd hit it!
Interesting link tb I actually used lemon in my brine and it added alot of flavor. The ice brine is interesting might give it a shot. I'm assuming to get the flavoirs in you can season the brine itself
I.e.put a crapton of hot pepper powder or even fresh chillis in it

Google Wear-ever chicken bucket low pressure fryer. you can find them on ebay pretty cheap. It doesn't use very much oil, has a oil fill mark on the inside. Once you try it there's a good chance you will never make fried chicken again without it. Depends on size of pieces but for thighs I usually go 3-4 minutes with lid off then screw on lid and go 12 minutes or so under pressure. After doing it a few times you can really tell when its done by the smell. no need for timers.Hells Kitchen said:
KFC , rubbed in HK special rub, brined in water and seasoned salt, then double breaded in a mixture of flour, cornflour, special HK spice rub (which contains a lot of paprika, lemon pepper, Cayenne, Chilli powder, ground black pepper), something like 5 tablespoons of Cayenne powder with 1:4 ratio of milk-water wash.
Felt no heat whatsoever. Skin was nice and crispy though, with good flavour, but no heat. I think either I need to use the entire freaking jar of Cayenne, or find some Habanero and Ghost chilli powder...
on the 8th day, god created beer, on the 9th day, he created the deep fryer.

The heat must've been in there somewhere coz I even got some authentic post-KFC shits the next day!!!!!

BTW if you want to flavor closer, pick up some Tellicherry pepper. That's the pepper the colonel uses

Also there's recipes out there for spicy chicken were you soak in hot sauce and then flour. Maybe that would help get more heat in there for you. Or maybe flour, hot sauce bath, flour again

Did some impromptu KFC the other night. Really a spur of the moment thing so threw together some Flour, cayenne, salt, garlic/onion powder, paprika and lemon pepper for the breading and seasoned the chicken pieces in cayenne pepper, oil, hot sauce, S+P with some lemon juice. Being late at night and too many (or is it not enough?) beers in, I only had it marinating for like half an hour. I think I put a crapload of cayenne pepper in it this time, but still could barely feel any heat! Needs more time marinating me thinks, but as far as taste goes, I was happier with this batch than my previous ones.
