Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the cooking oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken thighs into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each potato bun, place a piece of fried chicken, top with a slice of pepper jack cheese, B&B pickles, shredded lettuce, and a generous drizzle of sriracha mayo.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and crispy!
