This sweet tea fried chicken is brined in a mixture of water, black tea, sugar, and salt for tender, flavorful meat. The chicken is then marinated in buttermilk and hot sauce, coated in a blend of flour, cornmeal, and spices, and fried to a perfect, crispy golden brown. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt finishes this dish to perfection.
