Preparation and Assembly

Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwiches
Toast the brioche buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, place a piece of fried chicken, a generous scoop of slaw, a few pickle slices, and the top half of the bun.
