# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Place the sliced chicken pieces into a bowl and cover with buttermilk and hot sauce. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
02 -
Set up two bowls: one with beaten eggs and the other with a combined mixture of flour, panko bread crumbs, and all seasonings.
03 -
Dip each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally again in the flour mixture to ensure an even coating.
04 -
Remove excess flour gently and place the coated chicken pieces evenly spaced on a baking sheet.
05 -
In a large deep pan, heat vegetable oil to approximately 175°C (350°F) to a two-inch depth over medium-high heat.
06 -
Fry the chicken in small batches for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, then drain on paper towels.
07 -
In a preheated skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add hot sauce, honey, lemon juice, and seasoning. Stir continuously and simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
08 -
Either toss the fried chicken pieces directly in the hot honey sauce or transfer the sauce to a bowl and coat the chicken accordingly.
09 -
Assemble sandwiches using the coated chicken and your preferred fresh toppings such as brioche buns, coleslaw, pickles, or lettuce, then serve immediately.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Adjust the hot sauce quantity to control the heat level. For a healthier alternative, consider baking the chicken instead of frying.
02 -
Serve on toasted brioche buns with toppings like coleslaw, pickles, or fresh lettuce for added texture and flavor.
