Fried Chicken and Toppings

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Flour Mixture

    In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cayenne pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Dredge the Chicken

    Remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Brioche Buns

    Toast the brioche buns until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Add the fried chicken breast on top, followed by your choice of scratch pickles. Top with the other half of the brioche bun.
