Note

Chicken thighs or other cuts of chicken can be used.

I suggest buffalo hot sauce but any hot sauce can be used.

Extra ingredients such as smoked paprika, etc. are fine to season the chicken.

I use vegetable oil for frying but use other oil if you wish. Make sure it has a high smoke point though.
