Our cold smoked fried chicken has been a staple in our kitchen for years. We normally eat it on its own. Sometimes to gild the lilly I douse it with Snake Oil from Woodberry Kitchen. We have explored other sweet and spicy condiments, but thus far nothing touched the straight acidic heat from the Snake Oil. Until we popped open a jar of Luchito Honey. The Mexican honey is blended with Gran Luchito Hot Sauce. The blend of smoked chilies, balanced acidity and toasted alliums harmonize with the sweet floral honey. Dragging the smoky, crispy, juicy chicken through the Luchito Honey was revelatory. Now two jars will be on the table whenever we serve our smoked fried chicken and we can happily alternate condiments according to our mood.
