CHEF JOHN'S NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN



Chef John's Nashville Hot Chicken image

If you've never had Nashville Hot Chicken, we're talking about an ultra-crispy fried chicken doused with a cayenne-infused glaze, and by 'glaze' I mean melted butter and lard. For the record, I've never been to Nashville, so I can't tell you how authentic this is, but it works for me, and is fairly easy to pull off.

Time 10h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup pickle brine
2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons fine table salt
¼ cup butter
¼ cup lard
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Toss chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Transfer chicken to a bowl; cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Whisk buttermilk, pickle brine, hot sauce, and egg together in a mixing bowl. Pour marinade over chicken and stir to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and let chicken marinate in refrigerator 2 to 4 hours.
  • Mix flour and salt together in a shallow flat dish. Remove chicken from marinade and blot with paper towels. Reserve marinade. Toss chicken in flour until thoroughly coated. Return chicken to marinade, coating all sides; remove chicken from marinade allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Coat the chicken once again in flour mixture. Place on a rack. Repeat with all chicken pieces. Allow to sit out about 15 minutes to allow coating to dry out a bit.
  • Place butter and lard in a large pot. Add cayenne pepper, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Place over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until fats melt. Remove from heat; keep sauce warm.
  • Fill cast iron skillet about 1/3 of the way with vegetable oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees F over medium-high heat. Carefully place chicken into hot oil, skin side down. Maintain an oil temperature of 325 degrees F, adjusting heat as need. Fry until instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
  • Transfer chicken to a rack to drain. Brush with the sauce on both sides.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Sandwich Recipes     Chicken

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 (5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 cups oil for frying, or as needed
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons paprika, divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
¼ cup cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup coleslaw
1 ½ cups Belgian waffle mix (such as Krusteaz®)
⅔ cup water
1 large egg
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Begin preparing chicken: place chicken thighs in a medium bowl. Add buttermilk and hot sauce and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Prepare waffles: combine waffle mix, water, egg, and oil in a medium bowl; whisk until well combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Preheat a mini waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Spray waffle maker with cooking spray. Cook waffles one at a time until golden brown. Place cooked waffles on a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • Finish preparing chicken: heat 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep cast iron skillet or Dutch oven.
  • While oil heats, combine flour, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish.
  • Remove chicken thighs from the buttermilk mixture one at a time and allow excess to drip off. Coat chicken lightly in flour mixture and shake off any excess. Repeat the process once more, dipping chicken back in the buttermilk mixture and flour mixture, and shaking off any excess. Place chicken on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat to coat remaining chicken.
  • Fry 2 chicken thighs at a time in the hot oil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 170 degrees F (77 degrees F), turning 2 to 3 times, about 8 minutes per batch. Drain chicken on a clean wire rack set inside a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Combine remaining paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with cayenne pepper and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Carefully whisk in 1 cup of the hot frying oil. Brush each fried chicken thigh with the spicy oil mixture.
  • Stir maple syrup into the remaining spice mixture.
  • Place 1 piece of chicken on a waffle and top with 1/4 cup coleslaw. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the spicy maple mixture and place a second waffle on top. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken cut into 8 pieces, or use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using a whole chicken, remove the backbone and cut the chicken into 8 pieces.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before dredging in flour. This will help the flour adhere to the chicken and create a crispy crust.
  • Use a good quality oil for frying: Use a high smoke point oil, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil. Do not use olive oil, as it has a low smoke point and will burn.
  • Fry the chicken in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy: The chicken should be cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the hot sauce ahead of time: The hot sauce can be made up to 2 weeks in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Nashville hot chicken is traditionally served with white bread or biscuits, coleslaw, and pickles. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes, fries, or mac and cheese.

Conclusion:

Nashville hot chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. It is a perfect meal for a party or a potluck, and it is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make Nashville hot chicken at home.
