1
Mix all ingredients for the brine. Add the chicken, and let it rest in the fridge for about 3 hours.
2
Remove the chicken pieces and put them on a rack to drain a bit. Don't wipe off any brine though, but try to shake off any large pieces of garlic that might stick. Let the chicken drain for about two hours.

Beat the egg and the buttermilk with the first teapoon of baking powder in a bowl. Mix flour, the second teaspoon of baking powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder and thyme in a shallow baking dish.
4
Dip the chicken pieces in the batter and dredge them with the flour mixture.
5
Finally, fry in a deep fryer at about 175u00b0C (350u00b0F), for 6-7 minutes or until your chicken is golden and crispy, and well cooked through.
