Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– 4 brioche buns, toasted
Instructions
1. 1. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
2. 2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, panko, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
3. 3. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, one piece at a time, and dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing to help the breading adhere.
4. 4. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. 5. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm and well combined.
6. 6. Drizzle the hot honey glaze over the fried chicken and assemble the sandwiches by placing the chicken on the toasted brioche buns.
Notes
For extra crispy chicken, let the breaded chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before frying. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less cayenne pepper. The hot honey glaze can be made in advance and reheated before serving.
