Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 8 slider buns
- 6 cups canola oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 2 tbsp cayenne
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare two bowls to coat chicken. In the first bowl, place egg, milk and hot sauce and mix well. Into the second bowl, combine flour, salt & black pepper.
- Cut each chicken thigh half and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a dutch oven or heavy cast iron skillet, heat oil until it reaches 325 degrees fahrenheit.
- Take a piece of chicken and coat it in flour, then egg mix, then back into the flour. Repeat until all pieces are coated.
- When oil is up to temp, fry a few pieces at a time, not overcrowding the pan. Allow oil to return to temperature before adding the next batch. Fry each piece until golden brown, with internal temperature measuring 165 degrees fahrenheit (about 6 minutes per side). As you remove the pieces, place them on a rack over foil to cool.
- In another bowl, combine cayenne, chili powder, garlic, paprika and honey along with 1/2 cup of the frying oil. Stir well, then brush this oil solution over the fried chicken pieces.
- Serve on slider buns with thick cut pickles.
