Hot Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Hot Chicken Sandwich Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken thighs and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

2. 2

   Prepare the Coating

   In a separate bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Fry the Chicken

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and coat in the flour mixture. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Cook the Mac and Cheese

   In a pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook macaroni until al dente. In another pot, melt butter over medium heat, whisk in flour, and gradually add milk. Cook until thickened, then stir in cheese until melted. Combine with drained macaroni, and season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Toast the burger buns if desired. Place the fried chicken on the bottom half of the bun, add pickles, and top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the hot chicken sandwich with a side of mac and cheese.
