Fried Chicken

Double Dipped Buttermilk Fried Chicken w/ Bee Local Hot Honey

This is a freestyle recipe. We are less concerned with the amounts and more concerned with the delicious results. Have fun with it! 

 

1 - 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs

1 qt buttermilk

Sriracha

Dill

1 Package AP flour

High heat frying oil

Jacobsen sea salt or Infused salt

Plastic gloves

Baking rack

Bee Local Hot Honey

 

General Recipe:

  • Combine chicken, buttermilk, a few tablespoons of sriracha, and a bit of chopped dill in a Le Creuset casserole dish and let marinate for 12-24 hours
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator and let sit out on the counter for at least an hour before cooking
  • Preheat oven to 250F
  • Add fryer oil to a large le creuset dutch oven so that the oil is several inches deep, but DOES NOT fill the dutch oven more than half way. Begin to heat the oil over medium high heat.
  • Add flour to another Le Creuset casserole dish and season the flour with Jacobsen infused salt of your choice - Garlic Salt, Black Garlic Salt, Sweet Onion Salt, Black Pepper Salt
  • When the oil is hot, test by throwing in some flour to see if it will sizzle.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with paper towels and then placing a baking rack on top - this is where the cooked chicken with go. Keep this baking sheet and rack setup in the oven.
  • Utilize the double dip technique to fry the chicken: Dip the chicken in the flour, coat evenly, pat off excess, place back in the buttermilk marinade, then dip back into the flour, pat off the excess, then gently place the chicken in the oil (laying the chicken away from you and not just plopping it in, as that may burn you)
  • Only add 4-5 piece of chicken to the pot at a time so that the oil does not drop in temperature too much
  • Cook the chicken, stirring and flipping the pieces during the cooking process, until they are golden brown
  • Remove from the oil, onto paper towel lined baking sheet, immediately season with Jacobsen Salt of your choice - flake sea salt or infused sea salt - then transfer to baking sheet and baking rack in the oven.
  • Repeat with the next batch of chicken until done.
  • To serve, drizzle copious amounts of Bee Local Hot Honey on the chicken and eat with abandon.

CARLO'S MELTED CHEESE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS W/ BEE LOCAL HOT HONEY

Buttermilk Biscuits w/ Bee Local Hot Honey

 

Melted Cheese Buttermilk Biscuit with Bee Local Hot Honey

This amazingly simple recipe comes to us from Chef Carlo Lamagna of Clyde Common. Chef Carlo has created this savory breakfast dish (or anytime really) featuring our Hot Honey

You can buy the biscuits or we have included his biscuit recipe if you are feeling ambitious. 

 

Biscuits: 

2 Cups All Purpose Flour

3 Tablespoons Baking Powder

1/2 Tablespoon Jacobsen Kosher Sea Salt

1/3 Cup of Butter - Diced & Chilled

1/4 Cup Buttermilk

 

Combine all dry ingredients together and mix well. If mixing by hand, incorporate cold butter until small pea sized crumble forms. If using a food processor, pulse until the butter is incorporated. 

Mix in buttermilk and work in until a loose crumbly dough forms. It is okay if the pieces are flaking off. Be careful not to overwork the dough as it will yield a tough biscuit. 

Roll out to about 2" thickness and cut to desired shape. 

Brush top of biscuit with buttermilk and sprinkle with Jacobsen Kosher Sea Salt. Bake at 375F for 10-15 minutes or until done. 

 

To Serve: 

1 Biscuit

1 Round of Ancient Heritage Adele (or other soft rind cheese)

2 Tablespoons of Dried Starvation Alley Cranberries (or other dried cranberries)

3 Tablespoons of Bee Local Hot Honey

 

Cut biscuit in 1/2. 

Cut two 1/2" thick slices of the cheese (or as much as you want).

Place the cheese on the biscuit halves. 

Put cheese covered biscuits into 400F oven for about 6-8 minutes or until cheese is oozing. 

Remove from oven. 

Sprinkle cranberries on top then finish with a healthy drizzle of Bee Local Hot Honey and EAT! 

 

Thank you to Chef Carlo for sharing this incredibly delicious recipe with us.
