  • 2 cups fryer oil
  • ⅔ cup mayo
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 2 brioche buns (lightly toasted)

Instruction

  • Pour buttermilk into a baking dish and add chicken breasts, turning to coat. Allow mixture to sit for 30 minutes.
  • In another baking dish combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Whisk together.
  • Drizzle a couple spoonfuls of buttermilk from the baking dish with the chicken into the baking dish with the flour mixture and gently stir together.
  • Season each chicken breast with salt and dredge into the flour mixture, on both sides, until fully coated.
  • Shake off any excess coating and transfer to a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack.
  • While breaded chicken sits, preheat 3 inches oil in a large skillet to 350˚F.
  • Carefully slide each chicken breast into the hot oil and fry for 5 to 6 minutes. Gently flip each piece of chicken and continue frying for an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown, crispy and cooked through.
  • Transfer cooked chicken onto a clean baking sheet lined with a cooling rack. Season with salt.
  • Combine mayo and hot sauce into a small mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined.
  • To assemble spread the spicy mayo on the tops and bottoms of each bun. Place pickles on top of the bottom bun and top with a piece of fried chicken. Place top buns over chicken and gently press. Serve immediately!
