Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 240 ml buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 2 pieces tomatoes
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1.5 cm.
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. Mix well.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the buttermilk mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, remaining cayenne pepper, remaining garlic powder, remaining onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan to 180°C (350°F).
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and coat each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Carefully place chicken into the hot oil. Fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and hot sauce.
Slice the tomatoes and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Toast the brioche buns slightly on a hot pan until golden.
Spread the spicy mayo on both sides of each bun. Layer with lettuce, a tomato slice, and a piece of crispy chicken.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your soy-free spicy chicken sandwich!
