Directions

Combine buttermilk, hot sauce, eggs, and salt in a large shallow dish. Combine flour, potato flakes, and Nashville Hot Rub in another large shallow dish.
Dip the chicken in the dry flour mixture to coat all sides, then dip and flip the chicken in the buttermilk mixture. Dip the chicken back in the dry flour, creating a double coating.
Set aside on a large baking pan while you repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
Heat a large deep sided skillet or Dutch oven(cast iron preferred) with about 2-inches of oil.
Once the oil has reached 350°F, fry the chicken pieces in batches, making sure to not overcrowd the pan, for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping once, until the chicken is golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F for the thighs and 160°F for the breasts.
Once the chicken is done, let it cool a bit, then measure out 1/2 cup of the cooking oil and transfer it to a glass bowl. Add 1/4 cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of Nashville hot rub to the oil and stir until thoroughly combined.
Brush or pour sauce over chicken and let drain before assembling your sandwiches.
