- Marinating the Chicken
Mix buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Add chicken fillets and marinate for at least 20 minutes. This tenderizes the meat and infuses heat and flavor.
- Preparing the Coating
Combine flour and cornstarch in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from marinade and dredge thoroughly, pressing the coating onto the surface to create a craggy, crispy texture.
- Frying the Chicken
Heat oil in a pan to medium-high. Fry chicken 3-4 minutes per side until golden, crispy, and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Toasting the Buns Lightly butter
the buns and toast them cut-side down until golden. This adds flavor and prevents the sauce from soaking into the bread.
- Making the Spicy Mayo
Mix mayo, hot sauce, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust heat level to taste.
- Assembling the Burger
Spread spicy mayo on both buns. Add lettuce to the bottom bun, place the crispy chicken fillet on top, then add pickles. Close with the top bun.
