Instructions
-
Make the hot honey sauce.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, butter, and hot sauce. Stir occasionally until butter is melted and sauce is smooth. Set aside.
-
Get your oil ready.
Heat a 2" depth of canola oil in a disposable aluminum pan on a high-heat griddle until it hits 375 degrees. While it heats, prepare your chicken.
-
Prepare your chicken.
In a baking dish, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. paprika, salt, and pepper. In a separate baking dish, whisk together buttermilk, garlic, 1 tsp. onion powder, and 1 tsp. paprika.
-
Dip each piece of chicken in the buttermilk mixture, letting the excess drip off. Then coat in the dry ingredients and place on a tray.
-
Add chicken to oil and fry for 4 minutes, then turn over and fry for an additional 4 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches at least 170 degrees. Remove from oil and place on a paper-towel lined tray.
-
Toast brioche buns on griddle top.
-
Assemble your sandwich. Bottom bun, lettuce, chicken, drizzle with hot honey sauce, top with tomato, pickle, and mayo on top bun. Serve immediately.
