Fried Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Fried Chicken Sandwich Directions
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Prepare the Breading
In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. This will be used for breading the marinated chicken.
Fry the Chicken
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, then dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Fry the chicken in batches for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Sandwich
Toast the brioche buns lightly. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, add a piece of fried chicken, top with leafy greens, sliced tomatoes, and a drizzle of hot sauce. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
Serve
Serve the fried chicken sandwiches immediately with your choice of side.
