HOT HONEY FRIED CHICKEN STRIPS
This craggy, crunchy, slightly spicy version of fried chicken topped with spicy honey is the perfect comfort food! As written, this recipe prepares the chicken as easy to snack on strips, but you can easily adapt for full pieces or even go smaller for spicy chicken nuggets!

Steps:
- Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board (see Cook's Note). Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut each chicken thigh into 3 even strips. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Pour 1 cup buttermilk over the chicken. Marinate at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes or overnight in the fridge if time allows.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Pour about 1 inch of oil into a deep, heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 to 375 degrees F.
- Stir together the 1/4 cup honey in a small bowl with as much hot sauce as you like (I use 1 tablespoon, but I like it spicy.) Set aside until ready to serve.
- Stir together the flour, paprika, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the garlic powder and onion powder if using.
- Stir the remaining 1/3 cup of buttermilk into the flour mixture until it has a chunky consistency.
- Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture so that each piece is fully coated and place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Working in batches to avoid crowding the pot, add 3 to 4 pieces of the coated chicken and fry, undisturbed, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and fry until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the fried chicken strips to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, season with a pinch of salt and hold in the warm oven. Check the oil temperature and adjust the heat as needed to bring it back to 350 to 275 degrees F, then repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Serve the fried chicken strips immediately with the hot honey.

Steps:
- Combine the sugar, vinegar, pickling spices, bay leaf, 1/4 cup salt and 2 cups cold water in a large pot and bring to a boil, stirring, until the salt and sugar dissolve. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice. Remove the brine from the heat and pour it over the ice to cool to room temperature. Add the chicken skin-side down, being sure to keep the chicken submerged. If the chicken is not completely covered in brine, add more cold water. Cover the pot and let sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to overnight.
- When you're ready to fry the chicken, pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to reach about a third of the way up the side and deep enough to submerge the chicken. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with wire racks.
- Remove the chicken from the brine and place in a large bowl with the buttermilk. Put the flour in a large paper bag. Season the flour with the dill, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and remaining tablespoon salt. A few pieces at a time, transfer the chicken to the bag with the flour and shake well to coat. Place the coated chicken on the wire rack-lined cookie sheet.
- Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and the internal temperature measures 165 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove to another wire rack-lined baking sheet and transfer to the oven while you cook the rest of the chicken. Let cool slightly before serving with the Hot Honey Sauce.
- Stir together the honey, butter, hot sauce, paprika and cayenne in a small saucepot over medium heat. Heat and stir until smooth and all ingredients are combined.
OVEN FRIED CHICKEN WITH SPICY HONEY AND SLAW
Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with a baking rack. Lay out the chicken and pat each piece dry with a piece of paper towel. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper and stir well. Add the chicken pieces into the bowl and toss to coat each piece. Set aside.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg with the mayonnaise, buttermilk and hot sauce. Scatter the crushed cornflakes into a shallow dish.
- Remove the chicken from the flour mixture one piece at a time and tap off any excess flour. Dunk and thoroughly coat the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, allow excess to drip off, then roll and press into the cornflake crumbs. Place the chicken onto the rack-lined baking sheet and continue until all of the chicken is coated, making sure to leave space between each piece.
- Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) and the coating is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes for chicken breasts or thighs and 30 to 40 minutes for drumsticks. Season the chicken immediately with kosher salt and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
- For the spicy honey: Combine the honey, hot sauce and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Transfer to an airtight container to store at room temperature for up to 1 month.
- For the slaw: Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, celery salt and oil in a large bowl. Stir in the onion.
- Thinly slice the cabbage and shred the carrot on the large side of a box grater. Then add to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix very well to combine.
- Serve the chicken with the spicy honey and slaw.
