Nashville Hot Chicken

Nashville Hot Chicken

Prework

Salt and pepper brine the Chicken pieces for 24 hrs

Breading Station

Combine the following until the egg streaks are gone

1 cup of whole milk
few dashes of Louisnana style hot sauce 
2 large eggs

For the dry stuff, "the dredge"

2 cups of all purpose flour
2 tsb of Kosher Salt
2 Tbsp of egg & milk mixture

Time to bread

first the chicken goes into the flour mixture, then the dredge, and back into the flour mixture creating something commonly know as double dipped fried chicken

Time to Fry

Into a highwall fry pan or cast iron skillet add a block of lard to which we'll add equal amt of vegetable oil

350 degrees farenheit 
5-7 mins per side until deeply golden brown
325 deg oven for staging after frying

Spice Mixture

3 Tbsp cayane pepper
1 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp garlic power, paprika, and kosher salt

Add half cup of the hot frying oil and mix it all together

Magic happens

Brush down the freshly fried chicken with the spicy mixture If applied while both chicken and oil are hot it will absorb into crust without making it soggy
