Nashville hot chicken: Brined, breaded chicken strips baked and brushed with spicy homemade hot sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1 quart water
  • 0.25 cup salt
  • 0.25 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup hot sauce
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon white sugar
Instructions:
  • Combine water, 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup sugar, and hot sauce in a large bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. Add chicken pieces to the brine and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Drain brine from the bowl before moving on.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), then prepare a baking rack on a baking sheet by coating it with cooking spray.
  • Mix together flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl until well combined. Coat chicken pieces evenly with the mixture by pressing on both sides. Place coated chicken pieces on the prepared rack.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Spritz each chicken piece with cooking spray, flip, and spritz the other side. Bake until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer.
  • In a small pan, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Combine 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder in a bowl. Add the seasoning mixture to the hot oil and cook for 30 seconds. Brush the spicy oil onto cooked chicken, layering for more heat.
