HOW TO MAKE SPICY BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Step 1: Combine the buttermilk, Sriracha, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Toss in the chicken thighs and leave to marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 2: In a shallow bowl, whisk the flour with cornstarch, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne powder until well combined. Add 2 tbsp of the marinade and stir using a fork until incorporated. Then, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture a piece at a time. Ensure that each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated.

Step 3: To make the sauce, place the Sriracha and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Mix well until combined.

Step 4: In a deep pan, heat the oil to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and completely cooked. The chicken is done once its internal temperature reached 165 degrees F or 75 degrees C.

Step 5: On the toasted brioche buns, generously spread the Sriracha mayo and top with the sliced pickles, then lettuce and tomato. Serve the sandwich right away. Enjoy!

NOTES:

Whisk 1 cup of milk with 1 to 2 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice to make homemade buttermilk. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes.
