    1 1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Coarse ground black pepper
    2 tb Honey

    MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------
    Dill pickle slices

    MARINATE THE CHICKEN: In a medium glass baking dish,
    whisk together the buttermilk, dill pickle brine, hot
    sauce, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Add chicken and
    turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours
    or overnight, turning occasionally.

    PREPARE THE CHICKEN COATING: Set the oven to
    400ºF/205ºC.

    Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly coat
    with cooking spray. In a food processor, pulse pecans
    until they resemble the texture of coarse cornmeal and
    pour into a shallow dish. In separate shallow dish,
    whisk together the flour, salt and pepper. In another
    separate shallow bowl, place egg whites.

    COAT THE CHICKEN: Drain and discard chicken marinade.
    Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Lightly dredge
    chicken in the flour, then into the egg whites and
    finally into the pecans, coating thoroughly.

    Place chicken on the foil-lined baking sheet and spray
    tops lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 18 to 22
    minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

    MAKE THE HOT PECAN OIL: In a small bowl, whisk together
    all ingredients for the hot oil except honey until
    combined. Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil mixture into a
    small bowl with the honey, whisk briefly to combine, and
    set aside.

    Pour remaining oil into a small skillet and heat over
    medium for 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through,
    whisking often.

    PLATE AND SERVE: Carefully place chicken in the skillet
    with the hot oil. Spoon more oil on top. Place one piece
    of chicken on each plate. Drizzle reserved honey-oil
    mixture over chicken, allowing any excess to drip over
    the edges. Garnish chicken with dill pickle slices.

    Yield: 4 servings

    Categories: Poultry, Chilies, Dairy, Vegetables, Breads
    Yield: 4 servings

    5 tb Cayenne
    2 tb Dark brown sugar
    1 ts Chilli spice mix
    1 ts Granulated garlic
    1 ts Paprika
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    4 Boned, skinned chicken
    - thighs
    12 c Vegetable oil
    1 c Buttermilk
    1 tb Favorite hot sauce
    2 lg Eggs
    2 c All-purpose flour

    - topping
    Mayonnaise; for spreading

    Recipe courtesy of Jeff Mauro

    In a large heat-resistant bowl, whisk
    together the cayenne, brown sugar,
    chile powder, granulated garlic, paprika, 1
    tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon black
    pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture on all
    sides of the chicken. Transfer the chicken
    to a container and refrigerate at least 1
    hour and up to 3 hours. Leave the
    remaining spice mixture in the bowl.

    In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil until a deep-fry
    thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350-|F/175-|C.
    Position a wire rack on a baking sheet.

    Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and eggs in a
    shallow bowl. Put the flour in a second bowl and season
    with salt and pepper. Dunk the chicken first in the
    buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour
    and coat thoroughly. Gently drop the chicken into the
    oil, in batches if necessary, and fry until golden
    brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to
    the wire rack.

    Carefully add about 1 large ladleful (6 to 8 ounces) of
    the frying oil to the reserved spice mixture to let it
    bloom. Be careful, as it will bubble aggressively.

    Whisk until smooth. Brush the fried chicken with the
    bloomed spiced oil as desired. For the sandwich build:
    Meanwhile, halve the Hawaiian rolls, spread with butter
    and toast on a griddle. Put the hot chicken on the
    griddled buns, top with pickles, lettuce and a schmear
    of mayo.

    Yield: 4 sandwiches
