# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Put chicken pieces into a bowl and pour the buttermilk and hot sauce over them. Let it chill for half an hour.
02 -
Get two bowls ready: one with beaten eggs and the other with a mix of flour, panko, and spices.
03 -
First dunk each chicken piece in the flour mix, then the egg, and back in the flour again to cover it well.
04 -
Shake off extra flour gently and spread the pieces out evenly on a baking sheet.
05 -
Fill a deep pan with two inches of vegetable oil and heat it to about 175°C (350°F) over medium-high heat.
06 -
Fry the chicken in small batches for 5 to 7 minutes until it’s golden and cooked through. Let it drain on some paper towels.
07 -
In a heated skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add hot sauce, honey, lemon juice, and seasoning. Stir all the time and let it simmer for 2 minutes until a bit thicker.
08 -
You can toss the fried chicken right in the sauce or pour the sauce into a bowl and dip the chicken in.
09 -
Build your sandwiches using the coated chicken and your favorite fresh add-ons like brioche buns, coleslaw, pickles, or lettuce. Eat while it's hot.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Change up the amount of hot sauce if you want it more or less spicy. For a lighter version, try baking the chicken instead of frying.
02 -
Put it all together on toasted brioche buns with crunchy toppings like pickles, coleslaw, or lettuce for a nice crunch.
