Ingredients
For the Chicken and Marinade
- 4 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoon hot sauce
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt
For the Flour Breading
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon chili powder 2 tbsp, for medium spice level
- 1½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Sandwiches
- vegetable oil for frying
- 4 Brioche buns toasted
- kickin' remoulade for smearing on the buns
- dill pickle slices for topping
Instructions
Do Ahead
- Make the remoulade sauce
Prep the Chicken
- Cut excess fat away from the chicken thighs.
- Place the chicken in a medium-sized bowl. Cover with buttermilk. Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, and salt. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for at least one hour, or even better, overnight.
Prep the Flour Mixture and Chicken for Frying
- Heat oil in a large sturdy skillet to 340°F to 350°F.
- In a medium-sized bowl or dish, stir together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add 5 tablespoons of the chicken marinade into the flour mixture and gently stir until incorporated. There should be clumps that have formed from the marinade in the flour.
- Working one chicken thigh at a time, remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake the excess off. Place the thigh in the flour mixture, and turn it several times to fully coat the chicken. Place on a baking rack on a baking sheet and continue with the remaining chicken thighs.
- Working in batches, carefully place the breaded cutlets into the hot oil. Don't overcrowd the pan! Cook until golden brown and very crispy, using metal tongs to carefully flip the cutlets occasionally and the internal temperature is 165°F, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oil and place on a baking sheet over a baking pan. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
Build the Sandwich
- Toast the buns until lightly brown. Add a thin layer of the remoulade on the bottom bun of all sandwiches. Next, place a fried chicken cutlet on the prepared bun. Top with pickles and then the top bun. Serve at once.

- Chicken breasts can be used in place of the thighs. If large chicken breasts, cut them in half, lengthwise, before breading them.
- Adding the marinade to the flour mixture isn't an exact science. You want to add enough so that small clumps form throughout the mixture when stirred. Usually, 5 tablespoon is just enough, but feel free to add more, if desired. Just don't add so much that it makes the flour mixture become wet.
- Extra fried chicken fillets can be reheated and crisped up in a 350°F oven on a baking rack on a baking sheet for 20 minutes.
