Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 pounds Chicken Breasts Cut into slider-size pieces
  • 2 cups Buttermilk Mix regular milk with vinegar for a homemade alternative
  • 1/2 cup Hot Sauce Choose your favorite brand for personalized heat

For the Coating

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Consider gluten-free flour for variation
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch Can be skipped if you're in a pinch
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika Adjust for spice preference
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 cups Oil for Frying Vegetable or canola oil works perfectly

For the Glaze

  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Butter Opt for unsalted for control over saltiness
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Adjust according to spice threshold
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Enhances flavor profile

For Assembly

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they're well-coated, and let them marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk mixture and dredge each piece in the flour coating.
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet until it reaches 350°F. Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth.
  • Toast the Hawaiian rolls lightly, spread garlic mayo on each roll, add a piece of fried chicken, drizzle with honey glaze, and top with pickle slices.

Notes

Serve with a side of fresh slaw for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
