Ingredients
Method
Day Before (Overnight Marinade)
- Combine buttermilk, pickle brine, hot sauce and seasoning in a ziploc bag.
- Add the tenderloins, work the marinade in and squeeze air from bag and refrigerate overnight.
Bird
- Fire up RecTeq to 450 degrees.
- Remove tenderloins from marinade, place on jerky rack (over a full pan or cutting board to catch the drips
- Crush up your corn flakes (or use corn flake breading) and combine with flour and cayenne.
- Drop your birds in the breading, coating heavily and place back on the rack. Lightly brush each of the chicken pieces with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning your chicken over half way through the cooking time and continue cooking.
- Give a light brush of olive oil across the coated birds and place into RecTeq for about 15-20 minutes (IT greater than 165).
The Nashville Hot
- Combine brown sugar, cayenne, garlic/onion powders, chili powder, paprika, and cajun-style seasoning in a bowl.
- While birds are in the RecTeq, slowly heat your vegetable oil/butter in a small saucepan. As it starts to get hot, gradually add the seasoning and whisk into the hot oil.
- When you got the tenderloins out of the oven, place on a cutting board and brush the birds with the hot oil. Start with a little bit, but go crazy if you want hot. I didn't try it, but I support the dunk.
- Eat the chicken as a sandwich, with a fork, or maybe even a tortilla. Mix it up and enjoy that hot chicken!
