Method
Prepare Spicy Mayo
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise with 2 cloves of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of hot pepper sauce. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
- Taste and adjust the heat level to your preference by adding more hot sauce if desired. Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Make Slaw
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together 2 cups of thinly sliced cabbage, 1 sliced onion, 1 chopped jalapeño, and 1 cup of sliced pickles.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of pickle juice and mix thoroughly to combine and coat the vegetables. Let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Coat Chicken
- In one bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- In a separate bowl, pour in 2 cups of buttermilk or substitute with milk mixed with vinegar.
- Take each piece of chicken, first dredging it in the flour mixture, then dipping it into the buttermilk, and finally coating it again with flour.
Fry Chicken
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil, ensuring about 1 inch depth.
- Heat the oil to 350°F and carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying them for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Toast Rolls
- In a separate skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Once melted, add the sandwich rolls cut side down and toast for approximately 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
Assemble Sandwiches
- Spread a generous amount of the spicy mayo on the bottom of each toasted roll.
- Layer with the crispy fried chicken, followed by a scoop of the chilled cabbage slaw on top.
- Place the top half of the roll and press gently to secure all the delicious ingredients together.
