It’s pretty much how it sounds – heat-packed, crisp-fried chicken from Nashville, Tennessee that you can now make right at home with a buttermilk marinade, a very thorough flour coating for optimal crispness, and a buttery-hot-sauce Nashville finish.

For a milder touch, you can cut down on the cayenne pepper to taste. And you can absolutely use your favorite kind of hot sauce here depending on your preferences/flavor profile.

When serving, these biscuits are a great option to soak up all that saucy goodness with a side of cold dill pickle chips.

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 cups self-rising flour
  • 8 cups canola oil

for the butter mixture

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • BUTTERMILK MIXTURE: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup warm water, 5 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Whisk in buttermilk and eggs.

  • In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and BUTTERMILK MIXTURE; marinate for at least 8 hours to 1 day, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.

  • Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour until evenly coated. Return chicken to the flour, gently tossing; let stand 15 minutes. Gently toss again until evenly coated. Remove and shake to remove excess flour.

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

  • Heat canola oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Working in batches, add chicken, skin-side down, and fry until golden brown, flipping once, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack.

  • Place into oven and bake until chicken has completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 10-15 minutes. Brush with butter mixture.

  • Serve immediately with biscuits and dill pickle chips, if desired.

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, hot sauce and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
