Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cup milk (dairy-based or soy-free alternative)
- 4 cups neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise (soy-free)
- 4 pieces brioche or sandwich buns (soy-free)
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.
In another bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Dip the chicken into the flour mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.
Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
While the chicken rests, slice the tomato into rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Toast the brioche or sandwich buns lightly in a skillet or toaster.
Spread a generous layer of soy-free mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a piece of fried chicken on top.
Finish with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Soy-Free Spicy Chicken Deluxe!
