Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup spicy mayo or chipotle aioli
- 1 brioche burger bun
- 1 tbsp butter (for toasting bun)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).

- Layer cheddar on the fried chicken and melt it under a broiler or with a torch.
- Toast the brioche bun with butter, spread spicy mayo on both sides, and assemble the sandwich.
