Is it getting hot in here, or is it justMiranda Lambert‘s husband frying up some buttermilk chicken in a tank top? The answer: both!
Months aftertying the knot with the country superstar, NYPD cop Brendan McLoughlin seems to be embracing the Nashville lifestyle. On Sunday, Lambert, 35, posted a video of McLoughlin trying his hand at cooking some stick-to-your-ribs southern cuisine on a down home iron skillet. The clip also stars his omnipresent muscles, which undoubtedly come in handy when flipping massive chicken drumsticks.
“FYI The New Yorker took to the cast iron skillet just fine!#southern#Texan,” she continued.

In July, PEOPLE confirmed that McLoughlin, a 28-year-old Staten Island native, hastaken a leave of absencefrom the New York Police Department.
“Police Officer Brendan McLoughlin is on an authorized leave of absence,” a representative with the NYPD’s Office of the Deputy Commissioner Public Information told PEOPLE.
Though the NYPD could not discuss specifics of McLoughlin’s situation, officers can take leaves for various reasons, many of which are personal in nature.
His leave of absence comes just two months before Lambert is expected to kick off herRoadside Bars & Pink GuitarsTour in September. It is currently unclear if McLoughlin plans to tag along.
