Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Nashville hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon brown sugar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 chicken skins
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely.
- While the eggs cool, prepare the chicken skin. Cut the chicken skin into small pieces and heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken skin until crispy and golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Nashville hot sauce, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar to the yolks. Mix well until everything is fully combined and creamy.
- Season the yolk mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
- Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Garnish with crumbled crispy fried chicken skin and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately or chill for later.
Notes
For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce. Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The chicken skin can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
