Directions

  1. To make the hot sauce aioli, whisk together all of the ingredients, cover, and chill for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk the ingredients for the breadcrumb mixture together in a shallow dish.
  4. Whisk the eggs in a separate shallow dish.
  5. Warm the oil in a deep sauté pan over medium heat.
