Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Brioche buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for best results.
Step 2
In another bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
Step 4
In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Fry the chicken in the hot oil for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the chicken.
Step 6
Remove the fried chicken and let it rest on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Lightly toast the brioche buns in a separate pan or under a broiler for a few minutes until golden.
Step 8
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with lettuce leaves, fried chicken, pickle slices, and the top half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve the hot chicken sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
