Nashville Hot Chicken Wings With A Sweet Canadian Twist Food

NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken: Pour enough buttermilk over the chicken pieces to cover them and place in refrigerator at least 24 hours.
• Preheat a Dutch oven filled three-quarters of the way with peanut oil to 275 degrees F.
• Drain chicken in a colander, then coat chicken in enough seasoned flour to coat.
• Gently drop chicken into oil and cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, roughly 18 minutes. Set aside.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, combine the canola oil, bacon fat, cayenne powders, sugar, pickle juice, paprika, garlic powder and chili powder together in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Gently pour 1 cup of the mixture over fried chicken and toss in a bowl, making sure to completely coat chicken (watch your eyes, this stuff is no joke!). (Save remaining sauce for another use.)
• Remove from bowl and enjoy!

NASHVILLE-STYLE HOT WINGS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine all master spice mix ingredients and separate into three equal portions.
• In a large bowl combine chicken wings, ⅓ master spice mix, the buttermilk. Cover and chill for as long as possible (4 hours to overnight).
• Rinse the brined wing pieces and pat dry.
• Mix the flour with another ⅓ of the master spice mix.
• Dredge the chicken wing pieces in the flour/spice mixture. Shake off any excess. Set aside.
• Heat your oil to 325˚F (170˚C).
• Fry the wings for 8-10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F (74˚C). The wings will splatter so its a good idea to have a lid nearby!
• Take the wings out and drain on a paper bag or paper towels.
• Place the lard in a saucepan and sprinkle over the last ⅓ of your master spice mix. Once the lard is melted and warm, stir the mixture, and take it off the heat. Immediately baste your fried wings with the lard/spice mix and serve right away!
• Enjoy!

NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, pickle juice, salt, pepper and hot sauce together. Add the chicken wings and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours but for at least 8 hours.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk milk, eggs and hot sauce together. Set aside. Add a tablespoon or so of wet mixture to dry mixture (this will aid in achieving a craggy crust on your chicken).
• Remove chicken from fridge, line a large sheet tray with paper towel and remove wings onto tray (patting them dry).
• Working in batches, dip wings in flour mixture, making sure you get into all the crevices, dip in wet mixture, making sure chicken is fully coated and dip back into flour mixture, pressing flour onto wings to ensure chicken is completely coated. Repeat with all the chicken wings and place on dry sheet tray or two large plates.
• While chicken comes to room temperature, make Nashville seasoning mixture. In a medium bowl combine cayenne, salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder and brown sugar. Mix to combine and set aside.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, fill pot 1/2 way up with neutral oil. Heat oil over medium heat until a temperature of 375°F is registered on a thermometer.
• Working in batches of 5-8 wings depending on the size of your pot, carefully lower wings into hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through (9-12 minutes), turning occasionally with heatproof tongs or a spider. Remove onto a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Ladle out 1 cup of hot oil into a heatproof bowl and let cool slightly or if using lard, melt in microwave or in a small pot over the stove. Add oil or lard to bowl of Nashville seasoning mixture and whisk. Coat chicken thoroughly in mixture. Repeat with remaining wings.
• Serve wings on a platter with white bread on the bottom and bread and butter pickles on top.
