Ingredients for Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich

Preparation

Instructions to Prepare Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. Prepare the Spice Mix

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. Coat the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Dredge each piece in the spice mix until fully coated, shaking off any excess flour.

4. Fry the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

5. Make the Spicy Oil

In a small bowl, mix together remaining cayenne pepper with hot oil from the skillet used to fry the chicken. Add honey for sweetness and mix well.

6. Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread mayo on the sandwich buns. Place a fried chicken piece on each bun, drizzle the spicy oil over the chicken, and top with pickles. Close the sandwich and serve.
