Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages Fresh Express® Honey Pecan Premium Slaw Salad Kits® (10-ounce)
  • 2 pounds chicken parts bone-in, skin-on (thighs, drumsticks, breasts)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Baking powder biscuits optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 425° F.
  • Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, egg, and hot sauce in another bowl.
  • Put butter into a 13x9x2-inch baking dish; place it in the oven for 5 minutes or until the butter melts. Remove from the oven.
  • Working with one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour and shake off excess; dip into milk mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge again in the flour. Arrange chicken, skin side down, in a single layer, in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 30 minutes; turn chicken so that the skin side is up. Bake 15 minutes longer or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165° F.
  • Combine the oil, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and paprika in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat until warm. Brush fried chicken with spicy oil.
  • Serve chicken with Honey Pecan Slaw and baking powder biscuits, if desired.

To Make the Honey Pecan Slaw:

  • Place the Fresh Express® Honey Pecan Premium Slaw Salad Kits® into a large bowl; toss with salad dressing and toppings.
