A recipe for a delicious Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, featuring crispy fried chicken brushed with a spicy, sweet oil and assembled with ranch and jalapeños on a soft bun.
Prepare the spice mix using paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken in a mixture of buttermilk, egg, hot sauce, and some of the spice mix. In a separate bowl, coat the marinated chicken in flour mixed with the same spices. Fry the coated chicken until it is golden brown and crispy. In a separate bowl, combine hot oil with more of the spice mix, brown sugar, and honey, then mix well. Brush this hot oil mixture onto the fried chicken. Assemble the sandwich by placing the hot chicken on a soft bun, adding ranch dressing and jalapeños. Don't be shy with the seasoning.
