HOW TO MAKE A NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH RECIPES

Steps:

• Coleslaw: Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon, and vinegar. Pour over cabbage and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Coleslaw will keep in the refrigerator, covered, up to 3 days.
• Hot Chicken Sauce: Stir together Frank's RedHot sauce, melted unsalted butter, hot paprika, and brown sugar.
• Sandwich: Remove oyster from chicken thigh and set aside. Working one at a time, pound each thigh between two pieces of plastic to an even 1/8-inch thickness. Let sit, covered with plastic, at room temperature while preparing remaining ingredients, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fill a medium heavy pot, preferably cast-iron, about halfway with oil. Heat oil over medium-high to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, whisk together buttermilk and Old Bay or hot sauce in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, season 1 cup flour with salt and pepper; whisk to combine. In a separate shallow dish, season remaining 1 1/2 cups flour with baking soda, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. Add 1/3 cup buttermilk mixture and stir together to create ragged clumps. Working with two pieces at a time, dredge chicken in plain flour mixture, then buttermilk mixture. Let excess drip off, then dip in clumpy flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere and making sure chicken is completely coated. If wet spots are visible, press in more coating.
• Fry until golden brown and cooked through, adjusting heat as needed to keep oil between 360 and 380 degrees, about 3 minutes. Drain on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Repeat with remaining chicken. To serve, lightly butter both sides of roll and place in the oven to lightly toast. Brush chicken with hot chicken sauce, then place on white or Texas toast with pickles and coleslaw.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in fridge 3 hours or up to overnight. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a metal rack. In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and hot sauce. In another shallow bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, and cayenne. Pat chicken dry, then dredge in flour mixture, then milk mixture, then flour mixture again, and place on wire rack. Repeat until all chicken is breaded.  In a large pot, heat oil until a candy thermometer inserted into pot reads 350°. Working in batches, fry chicken until golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Scoop out 1/2 cup hot oil, and let remaining oil cool in pot before discarding.  Make spicy oil: In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together cayenne pepper, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. Pour in reserved hot frying oil and whisk to combine. Brush over chicken before serving.
