Hot Honey Crispy Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a bowl, combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

2. 2

   Prepare the Slaw

   In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and bread and butter pickles. Set aside.

3. 3

   Make the Sriracha Aioli

   In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and hot honey. Mix well and set aside.

4. 4

   Dredge the Chicken

   In a large bowl, mix together flour and cornstarch. Take the marinated chicken out of the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

5. 5

   Fry the Chicken

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken thighs and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Spread the sriracha aioli on the bottom half of the brioche buns. Place a piece of fried chicken on top, followed by a generous amount of the pickle slaw. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
