½<\/span> cup<\/span> Franks hot sauce<\/span><\/div>\n
2<\/span> tbsp<\/span> milk – add to a bowl and whisk together and set a side. <\/span><\/div>\n
Additional Suggestions <\/div>\n
4<\/span> cups<\/span> Canola or Vegetable oil for frying <\/span><\/div>\n
Flaky sea salt<\/span><\/div>\n
Brioche Buns, (toasted)<\/span><\/div>\n
Chopped Chives<\/span><\/div>\n
Bread and Butter pickles<\/span><\/div>\n
Candy thermometer<\/span><\/div>\n
Instant read thermometer <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Add the buttermilk, pepper, garlic salt, herb blend, lemon verbena to a large bowl and mix together, place the chicken in the bowl. Cover and place in the fridge to marinade for at least 4 hours or overnight. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mix together the crispy coating ingredients in a bowl. Take the chicken out of the fridge. Lift a piece of chicken from the buttermilk and allow the excess to drip off, then use paper towels to pat dry the surface on both sides. Dredge the chicken in the crispy coating mixture pressing the chicken into the flour coating ensuring it\u2019s fully covered. Place on a tray and repeat until all of the chicken is coated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Preheat the oven to a low heat @200-225 degrees to keep cooked chicken warm. Line a large sheet pan with a wire rack, and have flaky sea salt near by. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Heat a large pot or deep pan with oil, the temperature should be about 325 to 350 degrees. Use a candy thermometer, this will help you know when your oil is at the proper temperature. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Once the oil is hot enough, using tongs, carefully lower chicken pieces. Add in 2 to 3 chicken pieces, be sure not to overcrowd the chicken. The average piece of chicken will need to be fried for 12-14 minutes in total. The best way to tell if the chicken is cooked is by using an instant read thermometer. Carefully insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the breast and remove from the oil once the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F. Only flip your chicken once while frying. The more you fuss with your chicken, the more likely you are to knock off or disturb some of the crunchy coating. Drain excess oil and place the chicken on the wire rack, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and transfer to the oven to keep warm whilst you cook the rest of the chicken. (The residual heat will continue to cook the chicken to a safe-to-eat internal temperature of 165 degrees F.) Also keeping the chicken in the warm oven with ensure that it\u2019s cooked. When all the chicken pieces are cooked sprinkle with chopped chives. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Assemble your chicken sandwich, place the bottom of the toasted brioche buns on a plate, add some of the sauce, then the crispy piece of chicken, more sauce and topped with pickles.
