Equipment
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tsp vinegar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Cooking oil, for frying
To serve:
- 2 hamburger buns or sandwich rolls
- Lettuce (leaf or shredded)
- Sliced dill pickles
- Mayonnaise
Instructions
For the chicken:
- Mix together the milk and vinegar. This makes homemade buttermilk.
- In a large plastic bag, combine the chicken thighs and buttermilk. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
- Add the cooking oil to an electric skillet until it’s about 1 inch deep and pre-heat to 350 degrees F.
- Let some of the buttermilk drip off of the chicken and then coat it in the flour mixture. Make sure it is very well coated on both sides.
- Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and cook for about 3 - 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken to a wire rack to drain.
To serve:
- Layer the buns or sandwich rolls with the lettuce, fried chicken, sliced dill pickles, and mayo. Serve warm.
