HONEY AND SRIRACHA FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Using a whisk, combine all spices in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
• In a small bowl combine the Sriracha and honey, set aside
• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornmeal, mix evenly and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk combine the buttermilk, eggs, BBQ spice, kosher salt and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Cut the chicken thighs into "fingers" or pieces approximately 3"x 1.5"-inches and place in the seasoned buttermilk mixture. Mix thoroughly, cover and allow to refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours (overnight is ideal).
• Before prepping the chicken to fry, begin heating oil in a heavy-bottomed pot on medium high. For optimal frying use a thermometer, the temperature should read somewhere between 350°F - 375°F.
• To prep the chicken for frying: remove the chicken from the fridge and using a strainer, drain off the excess buttermilk marinade from the chicken. The chicken does not need to be completely dry, a little bit of buttermilk on each piece will help the breading adhere). Working in manageable batches, transfer the drained chicken pieces into the flour/cornmeal mix and gently toss until they are entirely breaded all over.
• To fry the chicken: Once again working in batches, carefully lower the breaded chicken pieces into the heated oil, approximately 8-10 pieces at a time is ideal. Fry the chicken for approximately 8-10 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the oil and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack. Season each piece with a little bit of kosher salt right out of the oil. Continue with this step until all of the chicken pieces are fried.
• To plate: Transfer all of the chicken pieces to a serving platter, drizzle with the sriracha honey (or serve on the side for dipping) and top with the optional cilantro sprigs and/or crispy fried garlic.

TWICE-FRIED CHICKEN WITH SRIRACHA HONEY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the seafood seasoning, coriander seeds, chipotle powder, paprika and a generous pinch of salt and mix well. Coat the chicken pieces with the spices, place in some large resealable plastic bags and refrigerate overnight.
• In a small bowl, combine the honey and Sriracha. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to fry the chicken.
• In a large Dutch oven, put in enough lard to come 4 inches up the side of the pot. Heat the lard to 325 degrees F.
• In a large, shallow baking dish, whisk together the flour and a generous pinch or two of salt. Remove the chicken pieces from the bags and dredge in the flour mixture.
• Beginning with the thighs, add the chicken to the pot, making sure not to crowd. (This may take several batches.) Place the lid on and cook until golden and cooked 80 percent through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a wire cooling rack and repeat with the remaining chicken, if necessary. (If you're entertaining, you can get ahead by doing all work up to this point, then continuing just before you plan to serve.)
• Once all the chicken is done, heat up the lard to 365 degrees F. Add the chicken in the same batches and cook until dark golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove onto paper towels and serve immediately with the Sriracha honey.
• Cook's Notes: Lard is available at better supermarkets at the meat counter, or at specialty butcher shops. If you can't find it, use vegetable or peanut oil.
• Wondra flour is available at most grocery stores, but you can also substitute with 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour combined with 2 tablespoons cornstarch.

SRIRACHA AND BEER FRIED CHICKEN WITH SRIRACHA HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Directions: Arrange the chicken in an even layer in a large baking pan. Sprinkle evenly with kosher salt, top with sliced onions. In a small bowl whisk together the buttermilk, beer and sriracha, pour evenly over the chicken, cover and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours. In a medium sized bowl stir together the flour, brown sugar, chili powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. One at a time remove the chicken pieces, dredge in the flour mixture then gently re-dip in the buttermilk/beer marinade and recoat with the flour mixture (double coating of the flour mixture will give you a crispier chicken), set on a wire rack that has been set over a baking sheet. Allow the coated chicken to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 250. Add the oil to a large pot until about 6 inches deep, heat to 350 degrees using a cooking thermometer clipped to the pan, adjust heat to maintain that temperature. Working in batches fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through (between 4 and 12 minutes each, depending on how thick the chicken and if the piece has a bone in it, use a meat thermometer to check for doneness). Once each piece is done, return to the wire rack and place baking sheet in the oven while the remainder of the chicken is cooking. Whisk together the honey and sriracha, drizzle over the chicken just prior to serving (alternately, it can be used as a dipping sauce).
