To make the chicken brine, add the water, salt, and sugar to a saucepan and heat over medium-high until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Place in the fridge until completely cool. Add the chicken to the brine and mix well. Place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, up to 24 hours. If using pickle juice, there is no need to heat the mixture. Add the chicken to the pickle juice and place in the fridge for the same time.  2. Place all of the coleslaw dressing ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine. In a separate bowl, mix the coleslaw veggies. Add the dressing to the veggies and mix to combine. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.  3. In a bowl, add all of the dry dredge ingredients and mix to combine. Remove the chicken from the brine and wash it in cold water to remove some of the salt. Place the chicken in the dredge and mix well until fully coated. Repeat with the remaining chicken.  4. Heat oil in a large high-rimmed pot or deep fryer to 170.c - 340.f. 5. Fry the chicken in the hot oil for 12-14 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and place on kitchen paper or a wire rack over a baking tray to drain. Repeat with the remaining chicken.  6. Serve the fried chicken with the coleslaw and/or your favourite sides and sauces. Dig in.  Video, Hosted, Directed and Edited By Jack Ovens
