Crispy Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Crispy Chicken Sandwich Directions
- 1
Brine the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
- 2
Prepare the Slaw
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar. Toss well to combine and set aside in the refrigerator.
- 3
Bread the Chicken
In a shallow dish, mix flour and cornstarch. Remove chicken from the buttermilk brine, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- 4
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
- 5
Toast the Buns
While the chicken is draining, toast the brioche buns in the skillet until golden brown.
- 6
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread Boom Boom Sauce (or your preferred spicy sauce) on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the crispy chicken breast on top, followed by a generous portion of sweet and spicy slaw and dill pickle slices. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
