Hot Honey Glazed Fried Chicken

The crispy-sweet-spicy trinity

Our Hot Honey was made for one thing above all: pouring over crispy fried chicken. Here's the definitive recipe.

Ingredients

• 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp paprika
• Peanut oil for frying
• 1/4 cup Weeks Hot Honey
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Method

1. Brine chicken in buttermilk 4 hours (or overnight).
2. Dredge in seasoned flour, rest 10 min.
3. Fry at 350°F until internal temp hits 165°F (~14 min).
4. Drain on rack, not paper towels.
5. Warm Hot Honey + cider vinegar together, drizzle over chicken.

Pro tip: The chicken needs to be HOT when the honey hits it — the heat activates the chili in the honey and melts it into the crust.
