Fried Chicken

Sriracha Honey Sauce

Toppings

Method

Marinate Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

Prepare the Breading

  1. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

Fry the Chicken

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk and let excess marinade drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating.

  3. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 8-10 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

  4. 7

    Drain the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Make the Sriracha Honey Sauce

  1. 8

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the sriracha sauce and honey until well combined.

Assemble and Serve

  1. 9

    Coat Chicken in Sauce

    Drizzle the sriracha honey sauce over the fried chicken pieces, ensuring an even coating.

  2. 10

    Prepare the Toppings

    Assemble the toppings: slice the tomato, onion, and cherry peppers. Set aside.

  3. 11

    Serve the Dish

    Serve the fried chicken with pickles, sliced tomato, onion, cherry peppers, and mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
