Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove chicken from buttermilk and coat each piece with the flour mixture. Make sure they are thoroughly coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Kale Slaw

    In a bowl, combine chopped kale, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the kale is well coated.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each brioche bun, place a fried chicken piece, top with kale slaw and pickles. Close the bun and serve immediately.
