Nashville Hot Chicken recipe

For Serving:

  • White sandwich bread slices
  • Dill pickle slices

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Make the Brine In a pot, combine water, brown sugar, hot sauce, and salt. Heat until dissolved, then cool completely. Add chicken pieces to the brine, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best flavor).
  2. Prepare the Spicy Glaze Heat oil in a small pan. Add cayenne, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and cumin. Stir until fragrant. Set aside.
  3. Coat the Chicken Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Remove chicken from brine, pat dry, and dredge in flour mixture until well coated.
  4. Fry the Chicken Heat oil to 175°C (350°F). Fry chicken pieces until golden brown and crispy—about 10 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Finish and Serve Brush each piece of fried chicken with the spicy glaze. Serve on white bread with pickle slices on top.
