Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb chicken pieces 4-6 pieces skin on
  • 2/3 cup dill pickle brine
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 cup AP flour
  • 2 tbsp creole seasoning
  • 1/4 cup reserved frying oil
  • 2 tbsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Warm the pickle brine with sugar in a bowl until the sugar fully dissolves, then soak the chicken pieces in this mixture for at least one hour or overnight for best results.
  2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk and hot sauce together until combined.
  3. Combine the flour and creole seasoning in a shallow dish.
  4. Remove the chicken from the brine and coat each piece first in the flour mixture, then dip in the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat again in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess coating between each step.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a pan to 350 F over medium heat and fry the chicken in batches for about 7 to 8 minutes until they turn golden and crispy, then drain on paper towels.
  6. Take 1/4 cup of the hot frying oil and mix with cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, sugar, chili powder, and garlic powder, stirring well.
  7. Brush this spicy oil evenly over all sides of the fried chicken and serve on white bread with dill pickles.
