Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate shallow dish, add the all-purpose flour. Season the flour with additional salt and pepper if desired.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Make sure to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully add the breaded chicken. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together stoned ground mustard and honey to create a sauce. Adjust the ratio to taste.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each bun, drizzle with the mustard honey sauce, add pickles to taste, and top with the other half of the bun.
