Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast fillets
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups vegetable oil
- 4 burger buns
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 8 slices bread and butter pickles
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce.
Place the chicken breast fillets in the buttermilk mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for extra flavor.
In another bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour until fully coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the chicken fillets in the hot oil, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha to make a spicy mayo.
Toast the burger buns lightly in a dry skillet or under the broiler.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the spicy mayo on the bottom halves of the buns. Top each with a fried chicken fillet, coleslaw mix, bread and butter pickles, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Kicking Chicken Sandwiches!
