Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and Nashville Hot Dry Rub. Mix well to ensure the rub is evenly distributed.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating thoroughly.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- 6
Drain and Rest
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let it rest for a few minutes.
- 7
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of a sandwich bun, add shredded lettuce, and top with the fried chicken. Optionally, add more Nashville Hot Dry Rub for extra heat.
