Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 1.5 Cup Buttermilk
  • 1 Egg
  • 4 Tablespoons Hot Sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • Salt As per Test
  • 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • ½ Cup Cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 4 Brioche Buns

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to achieve a thinner cut
  • If the chicken remains thick after being halved, use a meat hammer to pound it to an even thickness
  • Your goal is to achieve four evenly sized fillets, each approximately 1/2 inch thick
  • In a spacious bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, hot sauce, and spices using a whisk to ensure thorough mixing
  • Incorporate the chicken and mix thoroughly to ensure even coating
  • Cover and refrigerate to allow marination for a minimum of one hour or overnight
  • In a large shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and the remaining spices using a whisk
  • Carefully take each chicken breast out of the marinade and coat it in the flour mixture
  • Ensure that both sides are thoroughly coated and apply pressure to the flour mixture on top of the chicken, firmly pressing to achieve a substantial amount of “flaky” texture
  • In a large pot or skillet, heat approximately 2 inches of canola oil to a temperature of around 350°F
  • Introduce the breaded chicken into the frying pan and cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until it is thoroughly cooked
  • The internal temperature of the chicken must reach 165°F. Transfer from the oil onto a dry paper towel to allow for proper draining
  • As the chicken drains, promptly whisk together the ingredients for the spicy mayo in a small bowl
  • Apply butter to the insides of the brioche buns and toast them in a hot pan until they achieve a crispy, golden finish
  • Place the chicken fillets onto the buns and add your preferred toppings. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of spicy mayo (or regular mayo) on the top bun
