Brined Chicken

Sweet Spicy Slaw

Method

Brining the Chicken

  1. 1

    Brine the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Frying the Chicken

  1. 2

    Prepare the Flour Mixture

    In a shallow dish, mix flour, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

  2. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Remove chicken from brine, letting excess liquid drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Making the Slaw

  1. 4

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, honey, and sriracha. Mix well and set aside.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Add a fried chicken breast, followed by a slice of tomato, a slice of baby Swiss cheese, and a generous amount of sweet spicy slaw. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
