Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 240 ml buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 2 pieces tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1.5 cm.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. Mix well.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the buttermilk mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, remaining cayenne pepper, remaining garlic powder, remaining onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan to 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and coat each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Step 7
Carefully place chicken into the hot oil. Fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and hot sauce.
Step 9
Slice the tomatoes and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Step 10
Toast the brioche buns slightly on a hot pan until golden.
Step 11
Spread the spicy mayo on both sides of each bun. Layer with lettuce, a tomato slice, and a piece of crispy chicken.
Step 12
Assemble the sandwich by placing the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your soy-free spicy chicken sandwich!
