Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 lbs chicken thighs
• 2 cups flour
• 2 cup cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp sweet heat rub or seasoning blend of choice
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbsp hot sauce
• 4-6 oz club soda

For the Hot Sauce:

• 3 Tbsp butter
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
• ¼ cup honey
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp orange juice

To Assemble:

• Slider buns
• Garlic butter
• Spicy mayonnaise
• Sliced Pickles

Instructions

1. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, seasoning blend and baking powder. Transfer about 1 ½ cups of the flour mixture to a large bowl and toss with the chicken thighs, set aside.
2. Transfer half of the remaining flour mixture to a bowl and add the two eggs, hot sauce, and club soda and whisk to combine. You want this batter to be a slightly thicker consistency than pancake batter so add more water and necessary or a little extra flour if it’s too thin.
3. Preheat your frying oil to 350 F.
4. To make the sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet or pot and once foaming add in the cayenne pepper to toast for 30 seconds or so. Stir in the honey, lemon juice and orange juice and bring to a simmer then remove from the heat.
5. Fry the chicken: Place the seasoned floured thighs into the wet batter and fully coat, then back into the dry flour to coat.
6. Fry for 7-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy then remove to a wire lined sheet tray and brush all over with hot honey.
7. To assemble: Toast the slider buns with a little garlic butter brushed on top then spoon on spicy mayonnaise, add sliced pickles and a hot honey chicken thigh. Serve with extra spicy mayo for dipping and enjoy!
