Spicy Crispy Fried Chicken with Fries

Nashville-style hot chicken starts with a hot-sauce buttermilk brine and a shaggy flour crust, then gets painted with a fiery cayenne and brown sugar oil straight from the fryer. The coating turns brick red and stays crunchy under the glaze. Double-fried potatoes and pickles help cool the sting.
