Spicy Chicken Sandwich

A drive-thru favorite with super-crisp fried chicken, spicy mayo, pickle chips, and a glossy brioche bun. This is the copycat lane for the sandwich wars.

Method

  1. Marinate the chicken in pickle juice and buttermilk, then coat thoroughly in the flour-cornstarch mix.

    About 6 min

    Tip: Cornstarch makes the crust lighter and shatter-crisp.

  2. Fry until golden and juicy, letting the coating set fully before flipping.

    About 8 min

    Tip: Maintain oil temperature so the coating stays crisp instead of greasy.

  3. Spread spicy mayo on buns, add chicken and pickles, then close and serve hot.

    About 2 min

    Tip: Let the sandwich rest 1 minute so the crust sticks to the chicken, not the bun.
