Fried Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Slaw
In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Toss until well combined and set aside.

Dredge the Chicken
In a shallow dish, add the all-purpose flour. Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and let any excess buttermilk drip off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, making sure to coat all sides. Shake off the excess flour.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwich
Place a fried chicken thigh on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a slice of pepper jack cheese, a generous amount of KISS sauce, and a scoop of the bacon slaw. Place the top half of the bun on and serve immediately.
