Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Olive oil nonstick cooking spray
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (3-pound) chicken cut into 8 pieces, skin removed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Fit a sheet tray with a wire rack and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a pie plate or shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, mustard, honey, hot sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste, together until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the panko, salt and pepper, to taste, the paprika, cayenne, and garlic powder to another pie plate and whisk to combine.
  • Dredge the chicken through the wet mixture, then the dry mixture, patting the breading on so it adheres. Arrange on a wire rack lined sheet tray, making sure there is ample space between each piece of chicken. Give the chicken a spritz of the olive cooking spray. This will help brown and crisp up the coating.
  • Put on the upper rack of the oven and bake until the chicken is golden and crisp. The temperature should register 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces

2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder

vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, and place them in a deep-sided baking dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For best results, use a whole chicken cut into 8 pieces. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before breading it. This will help the breading adhere to the chicken and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a good quality breading. The breading is what gives fried chicken its flavor and texture, so it's important to use a good quality breading. You can use a store-bought breading mix or make your own.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit when you add the chicken. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When frying the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to cook unevenly and become soggy.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown. The chicken should be cooked until it is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Neely Family Spicy Fried Chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is juicy and tender, with a crispy and flavorful breading. The spicy rub gives the chicken a nice kick, but it is not too spicy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
