Then comes the star: the spicy honey butter glaze. Butter is melted and whisked with honey, hot sauce, chili flakes, and seasonings until smooth and glossy. The hot fried chicken is tossed in this luscious glaze, coating every crispy crevice with flavor.
Tips for Success
- Double dredge the chicken for extra crunch.
- Use a thermometer to ensure your oil stays at 350°F (175°C) — this helps avoid soggy or burnt chicken.
- Adjust the spice to your taste — add more honey for sweetness, or more hot sauce for fire.

- Creamy coleslaw
- Pickles or pickled jalapeños
