Hot Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken thighs, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Fry chicken in batches for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble Sandwiches

    Toast brioche buns if desired. Spread house sauce on the bottom half of each bun, add fried chicken, top with pickles and coleslaw. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the hot chicken sandwiches with a side of French fries.
