Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • ½ teaspoon mustard powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For serving:

  • 24 fried chicken bites or popcorn chicken pieces, homemade or store-bought (if using prepared hot chicken, reduce cayenne in filling by ½ teaspoon or to taste)
  • Sliced pickles
  • Fresh chives, chopped
  • Smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot about halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high, add the cold eggs and cook for 15 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water until cool enough to handle, then peel the eggs and slice each down the middle. Separate the whites from the yolks, placing the whites on a serving tray and the yolks in a large bowl. 
  3. To the bowl of yolks, add the mayonnaise, oil, sriracha, cayenne pepper, chipotle powder, mustard powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
  4. Transfer yolk mixture to a piping bag and pipe a generous amount of filling into each egg white half. 
  5. To serve, top each deviled egg with a fried chicken bite, a pickle slice, chives and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
