Directions
- 1Season the chicken pieces with Nashville hot seasoning, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- 2In a shallow bowl, add the all-purpose flour.
- 3In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with 2 tbsp of Nashville hot seasoning.
- 4In another bowl, whisk 3 eggs.
- 5Dip each piece of seasoned chicken into the flour first, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the panko mixture.
- 6Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a solid coating.
- 7Place the breaded chicken on a wire rack and let it rest while preheating the oil.
- 8Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- 9Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 3-5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
- 10Once done, remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 11Allow the chicken to rest for 3 minutes before cutting it into 1/2-inch pieces.
- 12In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of frying oil with 3 tbsp of Nashville hot seasoning.
- 13Stir well to incorporate the seasoning into the oil.
- 14In another bowl, mix 1.5 cups of mayonnaise with 1/4 cup of pickle juice and 3 tbsp of Nashville hot seasoning.
- 15Stir until smooth and well combined.
- 16Set aside the spicy mayo.
- 17Preheat your pizza oven on high.
- 18Place the pizza dough in the oven and cook for 90 seconds, allowing it to firm up.
- 19Remove from the oven and set aside the par-baked dough.
- 20Spread the spicy mayo evenly over the par-baked dough, ensuring full coverage.
- 21Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese across the top.
- 22Add the fried chicken pieces and sliced pickles evenly.
- 23Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 90 seconds, or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbling.
- 24Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle it with hot honey and the prepared Nashville hot sauce for an extra layer of heat and sweetness.
- 25Slice it up and serve immediately.
