welcome to barbecuepitboys.com
today we're cooking up some nashville
hot chicken this pit
and it's real easy to do all right for
this recipe you're gonna need some flour
you're gonna need some salt you're gonna
need some black pepper
you're gonna need some brown sugar
you're gonna need some paprika
cayenne pepper chili powder granulated
garlic
some good quality pickles you're gonna
need some buttermilk
and a few shakes of hot sauce
and for the chicken we're using skinless
boneless chicken breasts
now let's put this recipe together now
the first thing we're going to do
is make a brine for the chicken breast
we want to get that chicken
real tender right and this is a good way
to do it
we're gonna soak it in some buttermilk
for at least a couple hours
maybe overnight now add
a couple drops of hot sauce some heat in
there
of course we're gonna season a little
bit with some salt
a little bit of black pepper
man i'll tell you what you gotta brine
if you
really wanna make it fine now here we
have some
pickle juice i'm gonna add a few drops
in there
give it a mix now the enzymes in
buttermilk
will break down the protein in the
chicken
and make it tender that's why you use
the buttermilk
perfect now like i said
you want to take your chicken breasts
and marinate these overnight
for at least two three four hours
whatever it will make them
tender so uh all right here are the
chicken breasts
typical you'll find anywhere a great
piece of meat
but it's basically tasteless right i
mean there's no
fat in it so it needs a lot of health so
what we're going to do here
right is slice these breasts in half
so one instead of one big chicken breast
we got two
[Music]
do the math right again
take your 10 inch butcher
slice it and cut it
perfect step 1 to making them tender
now you want to pound them out this will
help tenderize those chicken breasts as
well so you flatten them out
and it also makes it even right for
frying
and that's where we're gonna end up
frying these boneless
skinless chicken breasts pound them out
with a mallet
perfect now if you've never had
nashville hot chicken before you
definitely gotta check it out
it's some good eating at the pit now
we're gonna take these uh
skinless boneless chicken breasts and
we're going to put them in this
uh brine or marinade for at least two
hours
or overnight now for the flour we want
to season the flour
so we're using all-purpose flour season
it with some salt
some pepper you always want to season
your fried flour right
all right perfect here we're adding a
little bit of garlic
perfect right give it a mix
oh man this is gonna be good all right
let's do the dipping so a few hours have
gone by
do the miracle of time and we're going
to take these chicken breasts
out of the marinade and get them in that
all-purpose flour
and dredge it good and because we want
these
extra crispy right unlike the big fast
food chains
we're going to be double dipping go from
the brine
to the flour and then from the flour
back to the brine
then from the brine to the flour double
dip
make them real crispy by doing it this
way well you know about that right
oh man this is going to be good
now we're going to let them rest for a
while that'll make a better fries for
you right everything will come together
now the frying part we're going to use
our cast
iron pan on our kettle you can use what
flyer you got
right and we're going to fry them at
about 350 degrees
fahrenheit more or less in that range
and it won't take long to do and you
want to keep flipping
right this will allow the um
the chicken fry to set up right and
it'll get
real crispy you just slowly do this
and you keep flipping
perfect now we want an internal
temperature of 160 degrees
fahrenheit for this uh boneless chicken
breast
that's just about perfect man
