Ingredients
- 3 tbsp table salt
- 3 tbsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp cayenne powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- Canola oil for frying
- ½ cup honey
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter
Directions
- Grab a bowl and mix together table salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, dried oregano, and cayenne powder. This is your flavor-packed seasoning blend!
- Take half of the seasoning blend and mix it into the all-purpose flour.
- Now, let's get that chicken marinated! In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with the remaining spice mix, buttermilk, and hot sauce. For the best flavor, let it marinate for 2 hours or even overnight if you can.
- Heat up some canola oil in a cast iron skillet until it reaches 325°F (160°C).
- Coat each chicken piece evenly in the seasoned flour mixture and fry for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 175°F (75°C).
- Let the fried chicken rest on a wire rack to drain excess oil. This will keep it super crispy!
- In a small saucepan, melt butter with honey until creamy. This is your sweet and delicious glaze.
- Brush the honey butter glaze onto the crispy fried chicken.
- Now, the best part - dig in and enjoy the crispy golden-brown deliciousness!

Recipe Note
For the best results, we recommend using bone-in, skin-on chicken and marinating it in buttermilk for at least 2 hours. Letting the chicken rest on a wire rack, not paper towels, will keep it crispy. Brush with honey butter glaze while warm and serve with your favorite sides. Remember to be careful when working with hot oil. Feel free to experiment with the seasoning and adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your liking. Happy cooking!
