Say..brah..how can I make spicy chicken at home...
Frying or grilling?
For frying my pops uses processed Spicy nacho doritos, flour, pepper, and chili powder to make the coating. You have to brine your chicken a few hours before in vinegar, salt, garlic, and water.
I'm a grilling machine, so I still do the brine, but I make a rub with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, chili powder, oregano, paprika. Toss them on the grill at 250 for 30 minutes.
For a sauce, I made a remoulade and doubled up on the horseradish. I then made a sriracha honey sauce with just those ingredients. The sweet hits you first, then those peppers kick in.
If you're going to put pickles on, I'd go with deli pickles and not those soggy shelf pickles.
Hope that helps. I just made it this weekend because I'm not dealing with standing in a line for a fucking sandwich.
