How to Make Nashville Hot Chicken

In this instructable, I am going to show you how to make Nashville Hot Chicken.

For this step, you will need: about 4 lbs of chicken, 1 tbsp salt and 1 tsp pepper

The night before you are going to actually cook this, you need to mix the salt and pepper together and sprinkle it over both sides of the chicken.

Place the chicken in a large bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, then place in the fridge to chill overnight.

For the breading, you will need: 2 c buttermilk, 2 c all purpose flour, 2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 1/2 tbsp hot sauce, 2 tsp smoked paprika and 3 eggs.

Mix the dry ingredients together in one bowl and mix the wet ingredients together in the 2nd bowl.

Pat the chicken with a paper towel.

Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then coat in the milk mixture and coat again in the flour mixture before placing the chicken on a rack.

Fry the chicken in batches (do not overcrowd!) in oil that's been preheated to 350°.

While you are finishing cooking the rest of the chicken, place the cooked chicken in an oven that's been preheated to 175° on a lined baking tray.

Scoop 1/2 c of the hot oil to make the hot sauce coating for the chicken.

For this, you will need the 1/2c oil you just scooped, 1 tsp salt,1 tsp garlic powder,2 tsp chili powder, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp smoked paprika and 4 1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper.

Mix the spices together, then combine them with the hot oil.

Brush the spicy sauce all over your chicken.
