Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be the breading for the chicken.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of the breading mixture into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing it firmly to adhere. Shake off any excess flour.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken thighs in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. 6

    Drain and Assemble

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. To assemble, place a piece of fried chicken on each burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the WTHBFC hot with your favorite dipping sauce or sides.
