The Oprah Winfrey

Y’all.. we freakin’ DID IT. WE MADE HOT CHICKEN. GOSH DANG. We even fried up some shiitakes and holy hell, those were SO DAMN GOOD. Many people don’t know this, but our beloved Oprah Winfrey grew up in East Nashville! Her family still operates their barber shop in Cleveland Park. Such a gem!

Since we were first timers on this journey. We closely followed this recipe here from Grand Baby Cakes!

Few things we learned..

  • Always have lots of spicy good red pepper on hand. :)

  • Corn starch.. WHOA. You crazy. This is what makes the chicken all textured and battered.

  • You can literally fry anything. Which is both a beautiful and a dangerous thing.

  • PUT AN EGG ON IT. AND PICKLES. AND GET THE WHITEST BREAD EVER.

  • The oil + seasonings is was gives it the deep pretty color at the end. Don’t forget that part!

Will we be making hot chicken egg toast again? Most definitely yes.
