Method
Preparation Steps
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, panko breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Coat the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken for an extra crispy layer.
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise and sriracha sauce on the bottom bun. Place the fried chicken on top, followed by shredded cabbage and pickles. Cover with the top bun.
Serve
Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, enjoying the crispy texture and spicy flavor.
