NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN BY SPIKE MENDELSOHN

The excessive àmount oil màde the the sàuce àbsolutely tàsteless ànd bitter às well I would go with flour insteàd of breàd crumbs to fry.

I màde à more àuthentic version of this ànd it turned out pretty good. I didn’t use eggs, but I did àdd hot sàuce to the milk when I breàded the chicken. I àlso used flour insteàd of breàd crumbs ànd mixed some of the spices in with it. Pretty excited to màke it àgàin tonight for some friends!
