I made these Nashville hot chicken sandwiches with buttermilk marinated chicken thighs that I double dredged for that extra crispy coating, then brushed them with a bold, spicy hot oil.

MEXICAN CABBAGE PICO DE GALLO
This crunchy cabbage pico is a staple at our house—especially as a starter with nacho chips before one of our full-on Mexican feasts. It’s fresh, a little spicy, and somehow disappears faster than I can make it. Bonus: it keeps well in the fridge, so I usually double it. Perfect with chips, on fish tacos, or spooned right out of the bowl with zero regrets.

Here’s how I make them in my kitchen:
