HOW NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN IS MADE

By Fern Greenthumb January 31, 2020

Season chicken with salt, followed by crushed garlic, hot sauce, and Creole seasoning.

Marinate seasoned chicken in buttermilk, covered, for 4+ hours.

Dredge marinated chicken in flour, shake off excess. Consider using a ziplock bag for ease.

Carefully add chicken to hot oil using tongs, work in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry until golden, turning every 10-15 mins. Ensure chicken is fully cooked by checking for clear juices.

Drain on paper, transfer to rack. Cool for 10 mins; repeat with remaining pieces.
