I remember the first time I had Nashville Hot Chicken. It was from this great place called Hattie B’s hot Chicken. And it was almost the best chicken I have ever tasted. From that point on I knew I had to learn how to make this type of chicken. Low and behold here we are, this is the recipe I used, but to be real It hasn’t tasted as good as the actual restaurant.
This recipe was inspired by Bon Appetit
Ingredients
- 3lb of Chicken Breast (Or Chicken Thighs)
- 1 Tbsp of Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp of Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp of Onion Powder
- 3 Tbsp of Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Tbsp of Chili Powder
- 1 Tbsp of Paprika
- ½ cup of Brown Sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups of buttermilk
- 3 Tbsp of Hot Sauce
- 4 cups of All Purpose Flour
- Vegetable Oil for Frying
- White Bread
Instructions
- Season the Chicken in some of the seasonings listed above. Like Black Pepper, Garlic and Onion Powder.
- Whisk together: buttermilk, eggs and hot sauce in a bowl.
- Pour oil in pot and turn on medium high heat
- While oil is warming up. Put chicken in flour mixture (shake off excess), buttermilk mixture, and then back in the flour again. Set aside until oil is ready.
- Once the oil is warm enough (you can test it by putting a little bit of flour in the oil and see if the flour starts frying) start dropping the chicken in the oil. Making sure not to overfill the pot. (Maybe 3 or 4 pieces each time)
- Cook until the internal temp of chicken is at 165, or about 10-15 minutes.
- Take chicken out of oil and let it sit to the side. And let the oil cool down a bit.
- Take the rest of the seasonings and mix in a boil. Then take one cup of the cooled down frying oil and pour in the bowl. Mix
- Place chicken in that bowl and shake to cover the chicken.
- Take chicken out and sit on top of bread.
Rob’s Opinion
I decided to start posting the different dishes and recipes that I cook during the week because one, I’ve been told I’m a pretty good cook. And two, I’m tired of finding recipes only to have to scroll through all of the unnecessary stuff to get to the ingredients and the steps to make the food. Not to mention the mountain of ads that pop up.
The recipes that I post on this blog are all recipes that I have cooked. So I will make sure I let you all in on what I do to the dish to enhance its flavors and truly make it one of a kind. If you enjoyed this dish, be sure to come back next week. Like always, if you have any questions leave a comment down below and I will do my best to answer it.
