Method
Chicken Marinade
Prepare Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Coating
Mix Coating Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Coat Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Frying
Fry Chicken
Carefully add the coated chicken thighs to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.
Hot Honey Sauce
Make Hot Honey
In a small saucepan, combine the honey and red pepper flakes. Heat over low heat until warm and well mixed, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assembly
Assemble the Sandwich
Toast the burger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, place a fried chicken thigh, drizzle with hot honey sauce, and top with lettuce and pickles. Cover with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
