For the Nashville Hot Chicken

For Serving

Method

Marinate the Chicken

1

Prepare the Buttermilk Marinade

In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Mix well.

2

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

3

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

4

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

5

Heat the Oil

In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6

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).

7

Drain the Chicken

Remove the fried chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Hot Chicken Sauce

8

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

9

Coat the Fried Chicken

Brush or drizzle the hot chicken sauce generously over the fried chicken.

10

Serve the Chicken

Place the spicy chicken on slices of white bread, top with pickles, and serve immediately.
