Honey Mustard Kale Slaw

Pickles

Method

Chicken Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading

    In two separate bowls, place the flour and cornstarch in one, and whisk the eggs in the other.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge in the flour mixture, dip into the egg, and coat with cornstarch. Place on a wire rack.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the burger buns lightly. Place the crispy chicken on the bottom bun, top with the honey mustard kale slaw, add pickles, and finish with the top bun.

Honey Mustard Kale Slaw

  1. 6

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine chopped kale, grated carrots, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine.

  2. 7

    Let Slaw Rest

    Allow the slaw to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
