    Ok we are sold.  Will put this in next weeks rotation.  
    BTW we marinated, then sous vide a shirt steak and  seared on egg and it beat the non sous vide one that was just marinated.   
    i think you’ll be happy.

    We tried this a couple of days ago, and we were amazed at the goodness.  Thanks for posting this method!
    Glad you liked it.

    Yep, it works great for chicken fried pork chops.







    I went with 140* for the chops, I think next time I'll go with 130*.
    That looks awesome. I agree on the lower temp. Makes for a very nice texture that you can’t get in fried foods any other way.

    My low carb diet has come to a screeching halt. Back in the wagon next week. I am sinking into the couch as we speak.

    I had my first real cheat meal in like 5 months yesterday. Steak and cheese and fries- 

    Making ribs today and didn’t have sugar free bbq sauce- so will have to get back to it Monday as well. 

    I’ve hit my target but really feel better with the reduced carbs.

    I was a hater of having to have another device to run my SV so I was stubborn about getting one. I was wrong- it’s awesome. It’s tiny too. Love that.

    @The Cen-Tex Smoker  That's some good looking comfort food.  I see that I've bookmarked this thread a long time ago.  Time to give this a whirl.

    Just got a new Joule and decided to try this again today. Dry brined pasture raised breasts (I deboned them and left the skin on) and dried over night in the fridge. SV at 149 for 2 hours, then dredged in Cholula buttermilk and seasoned flour. In the oil at 400 until crispy. Served over homemade mashed potatoes with Cholula gravy. Super fun and very tasty!

    Cut the sv breasts in half before the dredge 



    Yum:


    Very cool and very legal!

    That looks darn good!


    Have you tried adding a bit of rice flour? It amped up the crunch when I made Korean fried chicken wings.

    I haven’t but will next time. I did double dredge a few pieces and that did add quite a bit of crunch to those.

    My mom used to do something similar with pork chops.  But I think she cooked to an internal temp of 230.  I didn't know they came any other way.

    @johnnyp - Some of the fry oil, seasoned (salt, Aleppo pepper, paprika) flour from the dredging, bag juices from the chops, and milk.
    What is Aleppo?
