Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, marinate the chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. In another bowl, mix flour, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or large skillet. Dredge the marinated chicken thighs in the seasoned flour and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, diced green apple, and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. Toss with buffalo sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the burger buns lightly. Place a fried chicken thigh on the bottom half of each bun, top with gorgonzola apple slaw, and add sliced tomato. Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Sweet Heat Chicken Sammy with fries or a side salad.
