We’re coming in HOT with some fried chicken! What makes it HOT? Think of it as the forbidden lovechild of Taiwanese popcorn chicken and Nashville hot fried chicken: a super craggy and crispy crusted fried bird, doused in tongue-numbing Sichuan peppercorn and Tianjin chile duck fat. Eric Huang of New York’s Pecking House shares with us (and you) his chef’s secrets for ultra-crunchy, hot af Southern-meets-Sichuan chili fried chicken, which at one point had a wait list of 10,000 people dying to give it a try. A former sous chef at Eleven Madison Park, Huang combines some tried-and-true marinade-and-dredge technique with a little modernist flair and the full delicious force of Chinese pantry staples to make some of the best fried chicken we’ve ever had. Check it out and skip the waitlist because you can make it just like he makes it at the restaurant. #viralfood #friedchicken #spicyfriedchicken #peckinghouse #erichuang #spicyfoodchallenge #scoville
