Prepare cornbread muffin mix according to package directions. Spoon batter into well-greased cavities of a donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. (Cover and refrigerate any remaining batter and repeat in batches, if necessary.) Cool 5 minutes in pan; remove. Meanwhile, heat 1-inch of oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until 375°F. In a shallow bowl combine flour, dry rub, and crushed red pepper, if using. In another shallow bowl combine eggs and milk. Dip chicken pieces into flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then again in flour mixture. Fry half of chicken until browned and cooked through (165°F), 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining chicken. Top each donut with a fried chicken piece and drizzle with hot honey before serving. Hot Honey Make your own hot honey by combining 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce.
