Chicken and Assembly

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, mix together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Fry in batches for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  4. 4

    Make the Honey Mustard

    In a small bowl, combine whole grain mustard and honey. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Spread the honey mustard on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Place a piece of fried chicken on top, add pickles, and top with the other half of the bun.
