"Cashville" Finishing Sauce

 

From the October/November 2018 issue of Eat Drink Mississippi

​

This is the signature hot sauce at King Chicken Fillin' Station in Tupelo, Miss. This is not a dipping sauce, rather, it is meant to be prepared, the chicken rolled in the sauce until completely covered, then eaten. It will cover 20-25 pieces of chicken. 

 

5 tablespoons cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon onion powder

1/2 tablespoon paprika 

1/2 tablespoon kosher salt

1/2 tablespoon honey 

4 cups blended oil 

​

Mix all the dry ingredients and honey (no oil yet) in medium, stainless steel bowl until completely blended. 

​

Heat blended oil in a small saucepan on medium heat for 5 minutes or until it's at least 350 degrees F. 

​

Once oil is heated, combine all ingredients. 

​

Dip chicken and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes before eating. 

​

Note: this sauce easily separates, so it needs to be stirred frequently.
