Ingredients
Buttermilk Marinade
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs pounded to even thickness
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon each salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- Flour Mixture
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon each salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne powder reduce
- cayenne for less spice
Spicy Mayo
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or your choice of hot sauce
To assemble
- cooking oil for frying
- 4 burger buns lightly toasted with butter
- lettuce, tomato, and/or pickles sliced, or your choice of toppings
Instructions
- Make a large bowl by whisking together flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Mix the mixture with a fork after adding two tablespoons of marinade. Mix the flour and water together and dredge the chicken in it, making sure each piece is evenly covered. Mayonnaise and Sriracha are mixed together to prepare the sauce.
- In a deep skillet, heat the oil to 325°F (165°C). It takes about 3-4 minutes to fry the chicken on each side, or until it's golden brown. Cook the thickest part of the chicken to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius).
- Spread the spicy mayo generously on both sides of the buns and top with your favorite toppings. You can serve it right away and enjoy it!
