In this sizzling episode of Jet Tila’s Cooking with Coyote, things get heated—literally and figuratively—as Jet faces off in the kitchen with his wife, Ali Tila. This dynamic duo takes Southern comfort food to the next level, combining Jet’s fiery Nashville Hot Chicken with Ali’s famously decadent Buttermilk Biscuits. If you’ve ever wanted to recreate that perfect blend of heat and buttery goodness in your own backyard, this episode is a must-watch.

The Heat: Nashville Hot Chicken

Jet draws inspiration from the rich history of Nashville hot chicken and even the intensity of the Netflix drama Baby Reindeer to craft a dangerously hot yet utterly delicious Nashville Hot Chicken. Jet begins by preparing a spicy oil loaded with cayenne and other spices to give the chicken that signature fiery kick. The chicken is then deep-fried to perfection on the Coyote Power Burner, ensuring a crispy exterior while keeping the inside juicy and tender.

As always, Jet’s mantra, “Anything you cook indoors, you can make even better in your outdoor kitchen,” rings true. The Power Burner provides the perfect heat control for frying, allowing Jet to achieve that ideal golden-brown crust that makes Nashville hot chicken so irresistible. Once fried, the chicken is generously slathered in the spicy oil, creating a dish that’s as bold in flavor as it is in heat.

The Comfort: Ali’s Buttermilk Biscuits

While Jet is busy turning up the heat, Ali brings her baking prowess to the table with her Buttermilk Biscuits, which are nothing short of legendary. These biscuits are the epitome of Southern comfort—light, fluffy, and oh-so-buttery. Ali uses the Coyote Outdoor 30″ Hybrid Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven to bake the biscuits, taking advantage of the oven’s even heat distribution to get that perfect golden crust.

The result is a biscuit that’s tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, the perfect vehicle for soaking up all that spicy goodness from Jet’s hot chicken. Whether served on their own or as a base for the chicken, these biscuits are sure to steal the show.

A Fiery Pairing: Come Back Sauce

To cool things down just a bit, Jet whips up a classic Southern Come Back Sauce. This tangy, creamy sauce is the perfect companion to the fiery chicken and buttery biscuits, adding an extra layer of flavor that balances out the heat. Made with a blend of mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and spices, it’s the kind of sauce that you’ll want to put on everything.
