Ingredients:

Chicken Fillet

• Two skinless and boneless chicken breasts (pounded into an even thickness).
• Buttermilk, 1 cup
• 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp of garlic powder
• 1 tsp of onion powder
• 1 tsp of paprika
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp of salt
• Black pepper, 1/2 tsp
• Vegetable Oil (for Frying)

Sandwich Assembly:

• 2 Soft brioche buns
• Shredded lettuce
• Tomato slices (optional)
• Pickles (optional)
• Zax Sauce or mayonnaise

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken:

• In a bowl, combine buttermilk with hot sauce. Pour the chicken breasts in, making sure they are fully submerged. Marinate at least one hour or overnight to get the best results.

2. Prepare the Coating

• Combine flour, onion powder and paprika in a shallow dish. Add salt, black pepper, cayenne and paprika. Mix well.

3. Coat the chicken:

• Removing the chicken from buttermilk and allowing excess liquid to drip off. Cover the chicken with flour mixture and press gently to ensure an even coating.

4. Fried Chicken:

• Heat the vegetable oil to 350degF (or 175degC) in a large saucepan. Fry the chicken on each side for 6-8 mins until golden brown and crispy. Drain the chicken on a paper towel.

5. Toast the Buns

• While the chicken is resting, cut the buns into slices and butter them lightly on the inside. Toast the buns in a skillet on medium heat until golden, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Sandwiches:

• Spread Zax Sauce or mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Add the fried chicken, followed by shredded lettuce. Add pickles, tomato and top with the top bun.

7. Enjoy and Serve:

• Serve with salad or fries for a complete dinner.

Perfecting Your Perfection:

• Double Coat to Get Extra Crunch: To get a thicker and crunchier coating on the chicken, dip it twice in the buttermilk flour mixture before frying.
• Grilled Option: To make a lighter version of the dish, grill instead of fry your chicken breasts.
• Add extra flavour with cheese, pickled Jalapenos or bacon.
