Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
Chicken Coating
Frying
Sandwich Assembly
Marinating the Chicken
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Chicken
Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Coating the Chicken
3. Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating. Shake off excess flour.
Frying the Chicken
5. Heat the Oil
In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the coated chicken thighs to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Remove from oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Assembling the Sandwich
8. Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a piece of fried chicken on top, followed by leafy greens and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
