Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, mix flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sandwiches

    Toast the buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, place a piece of fried chicken, followed by bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and drizzle with honey mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches hot with extra pickles and honey mustard on the side.
