Great recipe and combination of spices. Very hot but manageable for the adults with pickles and ranch on the side. I served with sweet potato pancakes and syrup, weird combo but it works.

This was SO delicious ! 
l only used the oil recipe as i made a keto version . I substituted swerve brown sugar replacement  in place of regular brown sugar . Next time i am making the whole recipe .

Taste was amazing and skin came out great, but the cooking time listed was way too short for bone-in chicken Or my chicken was too thick and the temperature of the oil was a bit too hot, mine were undercooked And needed to be finished in the oven.

I love hot chicken, this is a fantastic recipe.

This was amazing and so easy.  Couldn't believe how spot on it was to some of my favorites.

The double dipping , flour, egg, batter  just wasted  the first dip. But the oil , 4thumbs up, I put less cayenne than required,  this was delicious. Spicy + sweet= fantastic

Mind-Blowing Nashville Hot Chicken Recipe

chicken

dill pickle juice

sugar

buttermilk

hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot or Louisiana)

all-purpose flour

cornstarch

creole seasoning

peanut oil (or vegetable oil)

fry oil

smoked paprika

salt

White bread

Dill pickles

Brine the Chicken: Warm the pickle juice on the stovetop or in the microwave. Then stir in the sugar until dissolved. Pour the pickle juice brine into a large zip bag. Add the chicken pieces. Zip the bag closed. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but longer is better. (If you can brine the chicken for 8 hours or overnight, that’s best!)

Once the chicken has brined, set out two shallow dishes. Pour the buttermilk and hot sauce in one shallow dish. Mix well. In the second dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, and creole seasoning. Mix well.

Drain the brine off the chicken. Set out a metal rack. One at a time, dunk the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, then the buttermilk, then back in the flour mixture. Place the breaded chicken pieces on the rack. (It’s good for the chicken breading to rest before frying, so don’t heat the oil until all the chicken has been well coated.)

Set a large saucepot on the stovetop and clip a cooking thermometer to the side of the pot. Pour enough fry oil into the pot to fill it about two-thirds full. Turn the heat on medium to medium-high.

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Set another rack on a baking sheet for the cooked fried chicken.

Once the oil temperature reaches 350 degrees F, carefully place four pieces of chicken in the fry oil. Use tongs to move the chicken so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. Fry for 7-8 minutes, until golden brown. (The largest pieces should be 165 degrees F inside.)

Use the tongs to carefully pull the chicken pieces from the hot oil and place them on the clean rack. Place the fried chicken in the oven to keep warm and crisp.

Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Place the second batch of fried chicken in the oven. Turn off the heat.

For the Spicy Oil: Use a ladle to scoop ¾ cup of fry oil from the pot into a heat-proof mixing bowl. Add the cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir to mix.

When ready to serve the chicken, remove the rack from the oven and brush the spicy oil over all sides of the fried chicken pieces. It’s traditional to serve the chicken over 2 slices of white bread, topped with pickles.
