Ingredients

Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Preparation

Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich Directions

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, and black pepper; add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

2. Prepare the Breading

In another bowl, mix flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt.

3. Bread the Chicken

Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating. Set aside.

4. Fry the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.

5. Prepare the Red Pepper Oil

In a small bowl, mix the fried chicken drippings with red pepper oil, then drizzle over the fried chicken.

6. Assemble the Sandwich

Spread mayonnaise on the buns, place the crispy chicken on top, and add lettuce and pickles. Drizzle with ketchup if desired.
