Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/254804/Chef-Johns-Nashvi…

You have used butter and lard together. It was in the Cornish Pasty video, with a memorable quote to the effect of "And for those of you who think that lard is unhealthy, don't worry! We'll also add butter!"

To the people asking... there is no possible way to make this by baking it. Don't even attempt.

Two best things in cooking, fats and spices

One of these days, I'll make one of your recipes, instead of eating Wendy's while watching you cook.

Dammit.... Midnight again when he posts these. Another night of going to bed drooling.

My family and I literally just came home from our Nashville vacation last night, this was THE highlight of our trip!

U make everything so perfect, a true chef with skill. I feel honored to learn ur techniques and browse recipes when I have ppl over for dinner. Ur my go-to

You're the BEST! I was disappointed that KFC stopped selling this and now thanks to you I can make my own and it will probably taste a whole lot better. Can't wait to try your recipe. Thanks again!

For people wondering why the white bread is because it's a cultural/historical thing over Nashville. That's just how they serve it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_chicken

Thanks for the "wet hand dry hand" trick, I am novice so always had to deal with gunky fingers.

Home kitchen: lightly coat chicken with flour, followed by attentively dipping chicken in marinade to coat evenly and lastly, coating with another layer of flour then setting on wire rack to sit for 15 min Bar kitchen: toss all pieces of chicken in the flour bowl and hastily use both hands to cover then pick up hand fulls of chicken out and into egg wash bowl, mix chicken around till coated then back into the flour bowl, cover with flour then violently throw straight into deep fryer with flour and egg caked hands, with drips of oil splashing onto your arms.

I've got the chicken marinating right now, and this WILL be on my plate for dinner. Edit: So I made this for dinner using chicken tenders, and I did have to change a few things. Since my tenders were cut thin, I had to crank the heat to high so the coating browned properly. I also doubled, maybe tripled, the spice mix so the oil would be more flavorful rather than just hot and red. And by the end of the third batch I was tired of the Flour-Dip-Flour process, so I mixed the marinade into the flour and made a batter. The battered chicken was even better than the Flour-Dip-Flour chicken.

Just when I thought Chef John couldn't be any more amazing!

Chef Jon is the best. My favorite part is that he takes a bite of the food at the end. No one else on youtube does that consistently.

No Chef John... your videos are never too long :) Thnx for the great recipe!

Omg! Thanks for sharing. You made this look simple and easy. Now I can make my own.

I literally cheered for joy when you used Louisiana hot sauce!

This recipe looks absolutely amazing. Great job Chef John!

You're recipes are amazing, chef John. And you videos are so entertaining! I'm so glad youtube exists right now.
