Test Kitchen Tip

If you can’t find chicken breasts that are 4–5 oz., that’s OK. Take an 8 oz. chicken breast and halve it lengthwise to get the right weight and size.

Instructions

Whisk together buttermilk, 4 Tbsp. pickle juice, hot sauce, and 1 tsp. salt; add to a shallow dish along with chicken. Marinate chicken at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic; cover and refrigerate.

Toss together cabbage, onion, pickle, jalapeño, and remaining 2 Tbsp. pickle juice for the coleslaw.

Heat 1-inch oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium to 350°.

Place a wire rack inside a baking sheet.

Whisk together flour, garlic powder, paprika, remaining ½ tsp. salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from brine, then dredge in flour mixture.

Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to prepared rack; season with salt.

Spread cut sides of buns with butter. Heat a skillet over medium and toast buns, cut sides down, until browned and crisp, about 1 minute. Spread toasted buns with mayonnaise mixture; top with chicken and coleslaw.
