Hot Hunny Fried Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread ranch dressing on the bottom of a bun. Add fried chicken, drizzle with hot honey sauce, and top with sliced tomato, lettuce, and dill pickle chips. Cover with the top bun.
