Introduction
Crispy, juicy southern-style fried chicken coated in a fiery, seasoned hot oil glaze. Served traditionally over slices of white bread and topped with dill pickle slices.
Step 1
In a large glass bowl, combine buttermilk, pickle brine, spices, and hot sauce, stirring well with a wooden spoon.
Step 2
Submerge the chicken leg quarters into the buttermilk marinade until fully coated.
Step 3
In a separate metal bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Whisk until evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade and press firmly into the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even and thorough coating.
Step 5
Prepare the hot chicken spice blend in a small saucepan by mixing cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and sugar. Carefully ladle hot frying oil directly over the spices and stir into a glossy spiced oil.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Ladling hot frying oil over the dry spice mixture blooms the chili and spices, creating the signature Nashville hot oil coating.
Draining the fried chicken on a wire rack prevents the bottom crust from turning soggy before applying the spiced oil.
White bread placed beneath the chicken catches the flavorful spiced dripping oil.
