Honey Sriracha Fried Chicken

Directions

1. Pat chicken thighs dry and season generously on all sides with Lane’s Honey Sriracha Rub.

2. Let sit while you prep the smoker.

3. Preheat your smoker to 150°C.

4. Place the chicken thighs in the smoker and cook until they reach an internal temp of 60°C (this should take around 30–40 minutes depending on size).

5. While the chicken is smoking, heat neutral oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 170°C.

6. Remove the chicken from the smoker and carefully place into the hot oil.

7. Fry for 3–4 minutes until golden, crispy, and the internal temp reaches 75°C.

8. Remove from oil and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices and keep that crust crisp.
