INSTRUCTIONS

MAKE THE COLESLAW

To a large bowl, add the cabbage blend, mayo, mustard, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and sugar.
Mix together well until everything is evenly combined.
Cover and transfer to the fridge until the end.
MAKE THE SAUCE

In a small bowl, combine mayo with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Mix together until creamy and it turns a light pink-orangeish color. Set aside.
CHICKEN

Cut the breasts in half if they are too thick. Then cut the breasts into individual filets, about the same size as your buns.
Pat the chicken dry very well with a paper towel.
DRY

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, mustard powder, black pepper, and baking powder. Set aside.
WET

In a deep bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, hot sauce, pickle juice, and baking powder.
Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the wet batter into the dry and mix around to create a flaky texture. Set aside.
BREADING AND FRYING

Dip each filet first in the dry, then into the wet, then back into the dry - using one hand for the wet only and one hand for dry only. Make sure to let any excess fall off before dipping into the next.
Once all the filets are breaded, allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before frying.
Heat oil to about 350°F in a frying pan, about 1.5 to 2 inches high.
Drop the filets in, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry in 2 to 3 batches. Fry until golden brown all around, about 7-8 minutes, making sure to flip over halfway.
Transfer to a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Reserve 3/4 cup of the frying oil in a cup.
SPICY OIL

In a deep wide bowl, add the frying oil along with brown sugar, chili powder, cayenne, dry mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Mix together well.
Dunk each filet in the spicy oil and transfer to a plate.
ASSEMBLY

Butter the buns and toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes.
Assemble the toasted buns with the sauce, fried chicken, coleslaw, and pickles. Close up and enjoy warm!

One thing you didn't mention in the recipe, make sure the chicken and hot oil are both still hot whenever you dip your filets in the oil. If they aren't then the oil will sit on the breading instead of soaking into it and it will give you a soggy piece of chicken.

This looks wonderful! If you all are making it at home, make sure to add the spices to HOT oil to bring out the full flavor.
