For the Chicken Sandwich

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, marinate the boneless chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then coat in the flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat cooking oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped green onions. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt to taste. Pour the dressing over the slaw and mix well.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Truffle Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and truffle oil until well combined.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the brioche buns. Spread truffle mayo on the top and bottom buns. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom bun, top with a generous amount of slaw, and close with the top bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Seoul Fried Chicken Sandwich immediately and enjoy!
