Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Buffalo hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 2 pieces Brioche buns
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
Prepare the chicken by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, to ensure even cooking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
In a separate bowl, pour the buttermilk.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk, then back into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil, frying them for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, and whisk in the buffalo hot sauce until fully combined. Remove from heat.
Dip each fried chicken breast into the buffalo sauce, ensuring they are fully coated.
Prepare the slaw by combining shredded lettuce, red onion, mayonnaise, white vinegar, and sugar in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Toast the brioche buns lightly in a dry skillet or toaster for added texture.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a buffalo-coated fried chicken breast on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with slaw, blue cheese crumbles, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich!
