This is a simple and flavorful twist on fried chicken! All the credit for this amazing culinary invention goes to the folks at Prince's Hot Chicken Shack. Listen to owner, Andre Prince Jeffries, explain the origin of hot chicken to Southern Living magazine here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScyRhSldvRs
When I can't get my hands on the real deal, I whip up a little something myself and settle for homemade--which, I must say is DELICIOUS but no where near close to that hot (okay okay sometimes* I get medium) chicken from Prince's. This is for all of us who are longing to be in Nashville...

1 table spoon smoked paprika (exclude if you don't want a smokey taste)
1 table spoon cayenne pepper
1/2 table spoon onion powder
1/2 table spoon garlic powder
1/2 table spoon seasoning salt
a couple glugs of hot sauce (of all the mainstream brands in the supermarket, I prefer Cholula)
1 table spoon brown sugar
the grease from your frying pan
pickles
white bread (for soaking up juices!)
4/5 fried chicken pieces (ya'll gotta fry that up yourself!)
Sunflower oil
Method:
Pour oil into pan on low heat
Grab a chicken and carefully place it in the pan of hot oil
Turn the chicken whilst its being fried make sure its carefully browning on all sides
Fry it for 10 minutes on medium heat

Mix all wet and dry ingredients together and take your already crispy fried chicken and coat in the sauce you've created! Garnish with a pickle on top and lay across a slice of white bread. YUM.
