🧂 1 Teaspoon adobo seasoning
🥚 1 Egg
🥛 1 Cup buttermilk
🌾 1 Cup all-purpose flour
For the Sauce:
🌶️ 1/2 Cup Frank’s hot sauce
🥄 1/2 Cup mayonnaise
🧂 1 Packet ranch seasoning

🌶️ 1/2 Teaspoon cayenne pepper

For Assembly:

Instructions

1- Prep the Chicken:

In a bowl, combine the ranch seasoning, chicken seasoning, Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sazon, chipotle chili powder, chili powder, and adobo seasoning.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and coat them well with the spice mixture.

2- Marinate:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let them marinate for about 30 minutes.

3- Prepare the Sauce:

In another bowl, mix Frank’s hot sauce, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and parsley.
Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.

4- Coat & Fry:

Heat oil in a pan until hot.
Dredge marinated chicken in flour that’s been seasoned (using some of the leftover spice mixture).
Gently place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

5- Toast the Buns:

In a separate pan, melt butter or add olive oil and a sprinkle of parsley.
Toast the brioche buns until golden.

6- Assemble the Sandwich:

Spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce on both sides of the brioche buns.
Place the fried chicken on the bottom half of the bun.
Add pickles on top of the chicken, then cover with the top half of the bun.
