Ingredients
For Chicken:
- 3 chicken breasts, (5 ounces each), skinless, boneless, and slightly flattened
- 4 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt, for the batter
- salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 egg
- 5 cups vegetable oil, for frying
For Hot Glaze:
- ¼ cup sriracha, or hot sauce of your choice
- ¼ cup honey, warm
To Assemble:
- 3 burger buns
- 3 oz pickles, sliced
- 3 oz tomatoes, sliced
- 3 oz lettuce, torn
- 6 tbsp mayonnaise
To Serve:
- 1 cup potatoes fries, per serving
- ¼ cup ketchup
Instructions
-
Prepare a deep skillet with oil for deep frying over medium heat.
-
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, cornmeal, flour, and egg. Whisk until evenly incorporated and liquid has been absorbed.
-
Once the liquid has been absorbed, add onion and garlic powders, paprika, and salt. Whisk to combine.
-
Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, toss to combine, then dip the chicken into the batter to coat evenly.
-
Carefully lower the coated chicken piece into the hot oil and fry for roughly 5 minutes, until golden brown.
-
While waiting for the chickens, slice your burger buns in half and toast to warm. Set aside.
-
When the chicken is cooked, remove and place it on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Repeat with the other pieces of chicken.
-
Combine honey and hot sauce for the glaze. Mix until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
-
Once the chickens have been well-drained, brush each side with hot glaze, then place on top of your vegetables and cover with the top bun.
-
Begin the sandwich assembly by spreading mayonnaise on both cut sides of the bun, roughly 1 tablespoon on each side.
-
Starting with the bottom layer, place some lettuce and tomato slices, roughly 1 ounce each. Place the chicken and cover with top bun.
-
Skewer 1 ounce sliced pickles on the top bun and serve with a side of fries. Enjoy!
