Ingredients

Spicy Chicken

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 pound each, sliced in half horizontally into two pieces
  • 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup (245 g) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha
  • vegetable oil, for frying

Sandwiches

  • 4 brioche buns
  • ½ cup green leaf lettuce
  • ¼ cup dill pickles, sliced
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and chili powder.
  • In a second medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and sriracha.
  • Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, pressing to ensure the entire piece is coated. Tap off any excess flour.
  • Dip the chicken into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
  • Dredge the chicken again in the flour mixture. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
  • Add about 2 inches of vegetable oil to a large pot. Heat over medium-low heat until the oil reaches 350°F on a candy thermometer.
  • Working in batches, add 1-2 pieces of chicken to the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is crispy and golden brown.
  • Carefully remove the chicken from the hot oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • While the chicken is frying, lightly toast the brioche buns in a separate pan or in the oven.
  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha.

Sandwiches

  • Top the bottom half of each toasted bun with a slice of tomato, a fried chicken patty, green leaf lettuce, and 3-4 slices of dill pickles.
  • Drizzle the sriracha mayo over the sandwich and top with the other half of the toasted bun.
  • Serve immediately.
