Brine the chicken using really hot, hot sauce (Nuckin Futs; Daves Insanity) to cover the chicken. Don’t add any water. Soak for 1 hr or up to overnight. Don't rinse, but shake excess liquid off meat.
Dredge the chicken in a flour mix that includes:
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon volcano dust
1 tablespoon white pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon scotch bonnet powder

2 tablespoons salt
