Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 cups vegetable oil
• 2 pieces brioche buns
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon pickle juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 4 leaves iceberg lettuce
• 1 large tomato
• 4 slices pickles

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and carefully slice them horizontally to create evenly-sized fillets.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Submerge the chicken fillets in the buttermilk mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off, and dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken to ensure crispy breading.

Step 5

In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Line a plate with paper towels for draining the chicken.

Step 6

Fry the chicken fillets one or two at a time (do not overcrowd the pan) for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove and drain on the prepared plate.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, pickle juice, and honey to create the sandwich sauce.

Step 8

Lightly toast the brioche buns on a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until golden brown.

Step 9

Spread the prepared sauce on the top and bottom bun halves. Place a fried chicken fillet on each bottom bun.

Step 10

Layer the chicken with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and pickle slices. Top with the toasted bun top.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Natedogg's Chicken Sandwich!
