Instructions
MARINATE THE CHICKEN (2 HOURS AHEAD)
Combine all dry spices in a large bowl: brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and salt.
Whisk in soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, green onions, minced garlic, and hot pepper if using.
Place chicken in a large zip-top bag, pour in marinade, and massage to coat evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
MISO BOURBON GLAZE
In a small saucepan, whisk together miso paste with 2 tablespoons of the bourbon until smooth.
Add remaining bourbon, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, honey, paprika, and salt.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Strain through fine-mesh sieve for smoothness. Set aside.
SLAW
Toss cabbage, carrot, and red onion with salt in a large bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.
Whisk together vinegar, sugar, mayonnaise, and celery seed.
Drain any liquid from vegetables, then toss with dressing. Refrigerate until serving.
FRY THE CHICKEN
Remove chicken from marinade 30 minutes before cooking to come to room temperature.
Set up breading station: buttermilk in one bowl, flour mixed with cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in another.
Heat oil to 325°F in a heavy pot or deep fryer.
Dip each piece in buttermilk, then coat thoroughly in seasoned flour mixture.
Fry in batches for 12-15 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Drain on wire rack for 2 minutes, then brush lightly with miso bourbon glaze while warm.
To Serve
Arrange glazed chicken on a platter with pickled slaw alongside. Serve extra glaze on the side for dipping.
