Method
Marinating the Chicken
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Breading and Frying
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge each piece in the breading mixture, ensuring a thorough coating.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assembling the Sandwich
- 4
Build the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Add lettuce, a fried chicken breast, tomato slices, pickles, and then the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
