CHEF JOHN'S NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN
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.

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.

Steps:
- Mix water, 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup sugar, and hot sauce together in a large bowl until sugar and salt are dissolved into the brine. Place chicken pieces in the brine and refrigerate, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Pour brine from the bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a baking rack onto a baking sheet and coat rack with cooking spray.
- Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl until coating is well mixed. Press chicken pieces into the coating until both sides are evenly coated; place on the prepared rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Spray each chicken piece with cooking spray; flip and spray the other side. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat until shimmering. Mix 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder together in a bowl; add to oil and cook for 30 seconds. Brush oil mixture onto cooked chicken, adding more layers for extra heat.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Pour the buttermilk and hot sauce over the chicken in a shallow dish. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Preheat a deep-fryer or a large Dutch oven filled with 3 inches oil to 325 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
- For the chile oil: Add the oil, chiles, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne and crushed red pepper to a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Allow the oil to come to a simmer, then turn off the heat and let the chiles steep in the oil for 5 minutes. Strain and let cool.
- For the shake: Add the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, chili powder, smoked paprika, white pepper and salt to a bowl. Stir to combine and set aside until later.
- For the dredge: Add the flour, pepper, smoked paprika, celery salt, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder and thyme to a very large bowl or shallow dish. Add the marinated chicken pieces, one by one, and pat the dredge onto the chicken, creating little crackles in the chicken piece.
- Shake off any excess dredge and add the chicken to the fryer. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until just slightly golden and it has an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and let rest on the wire rack until just cool to touch. Add back to the fryer and double-fry until super golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain again on the wire rack.
- Dip the fried chicken in the chile oil and add to a shallow dish. Dust each piece with the shake thoroughly until no oil is apparent on both sides.
- To serve: Split the Hawaiian rolls in half. Put a tender between each roll, then top with the sliced onion and a pickle chip or two.
AIR-FRYER NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN
I live in Tennessee and absolutely love our state's famous Nashville hot chicken. To make cooking it easier, I thought I'd try air-frying. I'm so glad I did-this Nashville hot chicken recipe is almost better than the original. -April Lane, Greeneville, Tennessee

- In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, add the chicken. Sprinkle both sides with salt and a few cracks of ground pepper. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and flip, continuously, until covered in buttermilk. I used tongs for this job. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge to marinate for 1 hour or overnight.
- Prep the chicken dredge by adding the flour to a wide-rimmed bowl. To another plate, toss the bread crumbs with the salt, pepper and ground paprika. To a medium bowl, beat the 3 large eggs together. This will give you a good assembly line.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To a clean baking sheet, brush the surface with the the olive oil (or other oil) and transfer to the oven. (The oil will get really hot while you assemble the rest of the ingredients.)
- Using tongs, remove the chicken, piece by piece, from the buttermilk, allowing any extra to run off. Dip the piece of chicken firstly in the flour, then the egg and lastly the bread crumbs. Feel free to sprinkle the tops and the sides of the chicken with the bread crumbs. I found it easier to do it this way. Transfer it to a plate and repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.

- Combine paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder and salt in a small bowl. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the mixture to a large nonreactive bowl or large sealable plastic bag.

Add chicken to the buttermilk mixture and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place crushed cornflakes in a large bowl. Shaking off any excess marinade, coat each piece of the chicken with cornflakes, pressing to help them stick. Place on the prepared rack. Coat the top and sides of the chicken with cooking spray.
- Bake the chicken until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165degrees F, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
