Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss until well combined.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place a fried chicken breast on the bottom half of a brioche bun. Top with pickles and a generous amount of slaw. Cover with the top half of the bun.
