Even better, stick the chicken in the refrigerator to let the coating stick well to the chicken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Fry Fridge-Cold Chicken<\/strong>. Don\u2019t start breading your chicken straight from the fridge. Placing cold chicken in the fryer will drop the temperature of the oil and prevent the chicken from frying evenly. Let your chicken sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then you\u2019re ready to go!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Use Oil with A High Smoke Point<\/b>: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using oil with a low smoke point will ultimately result in burnt chicken and the annoying sound of smoke alarms going off all over the house. Go for a neutral-tasting oil with a high smoke point, like canola, vegetable, or peanut oil. Be sure to use a thermometer to maintain the temperature of the oil, 350 degrees is perfect. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make Sure Your Oil Is Ready!<\/strong> One of the best parts of Nashville Hot Chicken is the crispy exterior of the chicken.&nbsp; To ensure your chicken is fried crispy, it must start with hot oil. How do you know when the oil is hot enough? Dribble sprinkles of water or even flour in the oil, once it begins to dance, it is time to fry some chicken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Popular_Substitutions_Additions\"><\/span>Popular Substitutions &amp; Additions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Different Cuts of Chicken: <\/strong>You can easily use boneless chicken pieces or choose your favorite type of chicken including, breasts, thighs, tenders, and more! Just note that you may need to adjust the cooking time a bit when using different types of chicken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust the Flavors:<\/strong> Feel free to adjust the quantities of each of the seasonings as you prefer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gluten-Free: <\/strong>Swap the flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blended flour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buttermilk: <\/strong>You can make your buttermilk if you don&#8217;t have any on hand.

Transfer it to an airtight container. I like to add some paper towels to the bottom of the container to soak up any condensation that forms in the container. This will help keep the chicken from becoming overly soggy. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For reheating, let the chicken sit out at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0 F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread out the leftover hot chicken on a baking sheet and brush more of the hot chicken sauce over the top of each piece of chicken. Place another baking sheet on top to cover and insulate. This will help retain some of the moisture. Heat for 20 minutes and then let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_will_hot_chicken_last_in_the_fridge\"><\/span><strong>How long will hot chicken last in the fridge?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leftover Nashville fried chicken will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days when you&#8217;ve stored it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_freeze_Nashville_fried_chicken\"><\/span><strong>Can I freeze Nashville fried chicken?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yep you know it.

Allow the chicken to thaw out in the fridge overnight and then reheat it using the instructions above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-4.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead close up of Nashville Hot Chicken Recipe on a plate with a little pitcher of sauce and a brush adding oil to the chicken.\" class=\"wp-image-8234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-4-277x416.jpg 277w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-4-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-4-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1699455110548\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is my chicken brown on the outside but not fully cooked inside?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In most cases, this happens when the cooking oil in the pan is too hot, so the the chicken cooked too quickly on the outside and browned too fast while not cooking the inside. An easy solution to this problem is to use a thermometer to test your oil to make sure it&#8217;s at the right temperature before you add your chicken to the pot.<br\/><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1699455316866\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is my hot chicken soggy?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, we&#8217;re adding a liquid marinade to the fried chicken after it cooks but this should make the chicken soggy if it&#8217;s cooked properly. If your chicken is soggy after cooking the most likely culprit is that your oil wasn&#8217;t hot enough or you didn&#8217;t drain it properly. Be sure to check the temperature of your oil before adding the chicken with a thermometer or a sprinkle of flour &#8212; if it sizzles up the oil is ready. Also, don&#8217;t overcrowd the chicken in the pan. Too many pieces of chicken will cause the temperature of the oil to drop. After cooking be sure to give the chicken time to drain on a paper towel or wire rack. Those tips are the best way to keep your chicken crispy.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1699455889817\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I have to let the chicken rest after breading?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes! This step is crucial to keeping the breading on the chicken rather than it sliding off. The extra time allows the egg mixture and flour mixture time to meld together so it adheres to the chicken and stays put. Don&#8217;t be in a rush and skip this step! It&#8217;s essential to a good outcome.<br\/><\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-1.jpg\" alt=\"Nashville Fried Chicken being brushed with a Hot Chicken glaze over white bread and pickles\" class=\"wp-image-8235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-1-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-1-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/nashville-fried-chicken-1-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re all about that spicy life and looking to amp up your fried chicken, you are gonna fall for this Nashville hot chicken recipe!
