Method

Crispy Chicken Preparation

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine buttermilk and chicken breasts. Ensure the chicken is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

2

Prepare the Coating

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together until well combined.

3

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4

Coat and Fry the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Chipotle Aioli Preparation

5

Make the Aioli

In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assembly

6

Assemble the Sandwich

Slice the brioche buns in half. Spread a generous amount of chipotle aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Place a piece of crispy chicken on top, followed by lettuce and a slice of tomato. Finish with the top half of the bun.
