Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless Chicken Thighs or Breasts pounded to even thickness
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper
  • Vegetable Oil for frying

Signature Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Pickle Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Assembly

  • 4 Brioche Buns lightly toasted
  • 4 slices Dill Pickles
  • 1 cup Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
  • Butter for toasting buns

Instructions

  • Place chicken thighs in a bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Pour over chicken. Turn to coat fully.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  • In a shallow dish, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and black pepper.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off.
  • Dredge thoroughly in flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
  • Place on a plate and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F.
  • Carefully add chicken pieces to hot oil and fry until golden brown and internal temp reaches 165°F, about 4 - 5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients until smooth. Chill until ready to use. (This can be done in advance. Store in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, until ready to use.)
  • Butter the brioche buns and toast until golden.
  • Spread prepared sauce on both sides of the bun.
  • Add lettuce, pickles and hot fried chicken.
  • Top with bun and serve hot with fries or slaw.
