Method
 

General Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with buttermilk and a splash of hot sauce. Let it marinate for 1 hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Prepare Coating: In a separate dish, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Dredge Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken and coat each piece thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture.
  4. Fry Chicken: Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  5. Make Hot Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, mix honey with cayenne pepper until warm and combined.
  6. Assemble Sandwich: Toast the brioche buns, place a fried chicken piece on each bun, drizzle with hot honey sauce, and add pickles.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider adding shredded lettuce or slaw. Leftovers may be stored in the fridge for 3 days or frozen for 1 month.
