Nashville Hot Chicken

The most perfect crisp, crunchy, saucy fried chicken. Served with a buttery hot sauce, biscuits + dill pickle chips!

It’s pretty much how it sounds – heat-packed, crisp-fried chicken from Nashville, Tennessee that you can now make right at home with a buttermilk marinade, a very thorough flour coating for optimal crispness, and a buttery-hot-sauce Nashville finish.

For a milder touch, you can cut down on the cayenne pepper to taste. And you can absolutely use your favorite kind of hot sauce here depending on your preferences/flavor profile.

Ingredients:

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 4 cups self-rising flour
• 8 cups canola oil
