Old Bay Honey

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    In another bowl, place the all-purpose flour. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each thigh in the flour, ensuring an even coating.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

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

House Pickles Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Pickle Brine

    In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat.

  2. 5

    Pickle the Cucumbers

    Slice the cucumbers and add them to the brine. Stir in the dill. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

House Aioli Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Season with salt to taste.

Old Bay Honey Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Old Bay Honey

    In a small bowl, combine the honey and Old Bay seasoning. Stir until fully mixed.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    Place the fried chicken thighs on a plate. Top with the house pickles, drizzle with house aioli, and finish with a touch of Old Bay honey. Serve immediately.
