For the Nashville Hot Chicken
For the Hot Chicken Sauce
For Serving
Method
Marinate the Chicken
Prepare the Buttermilk Marinade
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Mix well.
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Prepare the Chicken for Frying
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge the Chicken
Remove each piece of chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge in the flour mixture, pressing to coat evenly. Set aside on a wire rack.
Fry the Chicken
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the dredged chicken thighs into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 8-10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Prepare the Hot Chicken Sauce
Combine Sauce Ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine cayenne pepper, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and vegetable oil. Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well combined.
Assemble the Dish
Coat the Fried Chicken
Brush or drizzle the hot chicken sauce generously over the fried chicken.
Serve the Chicken
Place the spicy chicken on slices of white bread, top with pickles, and serve immediately.
