Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs or Breast Cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup Buttermilk 240ml
  • 1 tbsp Hot Sauce Adjust to taste
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour 250g
  • 0.5 cup Cornstarch 60g
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 12 Brioche Slider Buns Toasted
  • 0.5 cup Thick White Creamy Sauce Mayo-based
  • 24 slices Green Dill Pickles Two per slider

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch Oven or Deep Pot For frying
  • 1 Wire Cooling Rack To keep chicken crispy
  • 1 Meat Thermometer To ensure internal temp reaches 165F

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk buttermilk and hot sauce; marinate chicken pieces for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Mix flour, cornstarch, and spices. Drizzle a little buttermilk into the flour to create craggy bits. Dredge chicken thoroughly.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes until deeply golden and 165°F internally.
  2. Butter and toast buns until glossy; sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
Assembly
  1. Place two pickles on the bottom bun, add fried chicken, and spread thick creamy sauce on the top bun before closing.

Notes

Always use a wire rack to drain fried chicken to maintain crunch.
Toast buns just before serving for the best texture.
