Steps:
- In a large heat-resistant bowl, whisk together the cayenne, brown sugar, chile powder, granulated garlic, paprika, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture on all sides of the chicken. Transfer the chicken to a container and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. Leave the remaining spice mixture in the bowl.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F. Position a wire rack on a baking sheet.
- Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and eggs in a shallow bowl. Put the flour in a second bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dunk the chicken first in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour and coat thoroughly. Gently drop the chicken into the oil, in batches if necessary, and fry until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to the wire rack.
- Carefully add about 1 large ladleful (6 to 8 ounces) of the frying oil to the reserved spice mixture to let it bloom. Be careful, as it will bubble aggressively. Whisk until smooth. Brush the fried chicken with the bloomed spiced oil as desired.
- For the sandwich build: Meanwhile, halve the Hawaiian rolls, spread with butter and toast on a griddle. Put the hot chicken on the griddled buns, top with pickles, lettuce and a schmear of mayo.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect crispy coating, double dredge the chicken in the flour mixture. Make sure to shake off any excess flour before frying to prevent clumping.
- Use a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable or canola oil, for frying the chicken. This will prevent the oil from burning and imparting an unwanted flavor to the chicken.
- Fry the chicken in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the hot sauce. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
- To assemble the hot chicken sandwiches, place a fried chicken breast on a bun. Top with pickles, coleslaw, and hot sauce. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
These Nashville hot chicken sandwiches are a delicious and fiery treat that is sure to satisfy your cravings for something spicy. The combination of crispy chicken, tangy pickles, creamy coleslaw, and spicy hot sauce creates a sandwich that is both flavorful and addictive.
