Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 cups vegetable oil
• 2 pieces brioche buns
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 pieces dill pickle slices
• 0.5 cup shredded lettuce

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts to the dish, making sure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor and juiciness.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk mixture, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure they are fully coated. Shake off the excess flour.

Step 6

Carefully lower the chicken breasts into the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a wire rack to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

While the chicken rests, lightly toast the brioche buns in a dry skillet or toaster.

Step 8

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer each with a fried chicken breast, 2 pickle slices, and a handful of shredded lettuce. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Big Show Chicken Sandwich!
