Fried Chicken
Method
Preparation and Assembly
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil, cooking for about 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a wire rack to drain.
Prepare the Sandwich
On a brioche bun, layer the spicy fried chicken, Texas coleslaw, pickles, and drizzle with chili oil. Top with the other half of the bun.
