To the people asking... there is no possible way to make this by baking it. Don't even attempt.

You have used butter and lard together. It was in the Cornish Pasty video, with a memorable quote to the effect of "And for those of you who think that lard is unhealthy, don't worry! We'll also add butter!"

Dammit.... Midnight again when he posts these. Another night of going to bed drooling.

Two best things in cooking, fats and spices

One of these days, I'll make one of your recipes, instead of eating Wendy's while watching you cook.

I've got the chicken marinating right now, and this WILL be on my plate for dinner. Edit: So I made this for dinner using chicken tenders, and I did have to change a few things. Since my tenders were cut thin, I had to crank the heat to high so the coating browned properly. I also doubled, maybe tripled, the spice mix so the oil would be more flavorful rather than just hot and red. And by the end of the third batch I was tired of the Flour-Dip-Flour process, so I mixed the marinade into the flour and made a batter. The battered chicken was even better than the Flour-Dip-Flour chicken.

For people wondering why the white bread is because it's a cultural/historical thing over Nashville. That's just how they serve it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_chicken

My family and I literally just came home from our Nashville vacation last night, this was THE highlight of our trip!

"The food gods hate a coward." ...My cooking failures have all been explained... >.

You're the BEST! I was disappointed that KFC stopped selling this and now thanks to you I can make my own and it will probably taste a whole lot better. Can't wait to try your recipe. Thanks again!

Chef Jon is the best. My favorite part is that he takes a bite of the food at the end. No one else on youtube does that consistently.

Home kitchen: lightly coat chicken with flour, followed by attentively dipping chicken in marinade to coat evenly and lastly, coating with another layer of flour then setting on wire rack to sit for 15 min Bar kitchen: toss all pieces of chicken in the flour bowl and hastily use both hands to cover then pick up hand fulls of chicken out and into egg wash bowl, mix chicken around till coated then back into the flour bowl, cover with flour then violently throw straight into deep fryer with flour and egg caked hands, with drips of oil splashing onto your arms.

U make everything so perfect, a true chef with skill. I feel honored to learn ur techniques and browse recipes when I have ppl over for dinner. Ur my go-to

I'm not Crystal clear on which hot sauce you used...

Thanks for the "wet hand dry hand" trick, I am novice so always had to deal with gunky fingers.

Just when I thought Chef John couldn't be any more amazing!

No Chef John... your videos are never too long :) Thnx for the great recipe!

Oh yea baby! Princes Chicken recipe. The greatest.

Chef, blink twice if the alternative Louisiana hot sauce is Crystal.

best sense of humor award goes to: Chef John

I literally cheered for joy when you used Louisiana hot sauce!

FRESHly ground black pepper.

I don't know what I enjoy more, the recipes, your voice, or silly jokes. 😉

I got some from Kentucky Fried chicken for my husband and he loved it,so i am so going to make this for him.Ty for making it Chef John!

where I am from, kenya, we call this recipe poussin chicken and it's my favorite' thank you

This recipe looks absolutely amazing. Great job Chef John!

i would so use waffles instead of bread

people asking why the white bread must have been deprived of the sweetest sensation that is eating highly flavourful food with a soft pillowy almost flavorless cloud of bread... I rarely even eat bread anymore and if I do it's definitely some whole grain hippie stuff that takes a strong jaw to chew and even I know the pleasure of the wonder bread.

You're recipes are amazing, chef John. And you videos are so entertaining! I'm so glad youtube exists right now.

John, I hope you know that it's midnight, and I'm here dreaming about homemade spicy chicken while eating white bread dipped in pizza sauce.

By the way, I used this glaze on some steaks I was grilling on the BBQ. They came out amazing.

Thank you for showing the wet hand / dry hand technique. I've experienced the batter around my hands a number of times and would have never figured that out!

Your videos are never too long, never enough..

Chef John, you're a kitchen maestro!

YAAAAAS, my food wishes have been answered. Making this for ME and BAE tomorrow. Chef John is invited too.

Wow that's some tasty looking fried chicken. I would probably brush some sauce on then put some in a cup for dipping. Since I like extra sauce.

looks delicious and I love the long videos!!!!

love the fork work

Awesome! I requested this a few months back

To anyone who has an issue with lard: Hot wings are dunked in a sauce made from hot sauce and butter, and butter has more saturated fat per gram than lard. So think of this as a different type of hot wing sauce.

I enjoy watching you videos! Keep up the good work.

I just ate this the other day with some sweet potato cakes. Delicious!

ohhh...great looking recipe!

That. Looks. Beautiful. Well I guess I know what I'm having for dinner tomorrow now! Thanks!

YASSS Louisiana hot sauce! Go AWF, chef John!

I was wondering how to make this. Thanks for the video.

Louisiana is far better than pete's ! ! Thank for being the first chef I've seen to admit that.
