Golden, impeccably crisp chicken, delicately seasoned and enhanced with the subtle strength of Maille Dijon Original. Encased in a soft brioche bun, it is complemented by a silken sriracha mayonnaise and precise notes of pickle and greens. Bold yet measured, indulgent yet composed—this is a sandwich where craftsmanship, balance, and French savoir‑faire take center stage.
Ingredients
- boneless skinless chicken thighs
- canola oil for frying
Wet Batter
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tbsp Maille® Dijon Original Mustard
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp cayenne powder
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsps habanero sauce
- 1 tbsp salt
Dry Batter
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsps cayenne powder
- 2 tbsps garlic powder
- 1/4 tbsp salt and pepper
Sriracha Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Sriracha
- garlic powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Preparation
-
Place boneless skinless chicken thighs between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and lightly pound until flat.
-
To prepare the wet batter, add all ingredients to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Place chicken thighs in the batter, making sure they are fully submerged. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight.
-
In a large frying pan, heat about 4 cups of canola oil over medium high heat. You may need more oil depending on the size of your pot. The oil should reach about 1 inch high.
-
Whisk together ingredients for the dry batter on a large plate. Remove chicken thighs from the fridge and let them come to room temperature. Shake off the excess wet batter, then dip thighs in dry batter, pressing down to ensure the mixture sticks to the chicken. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
-
Prepare the sriracha mayo by whisking together the ingredients for the mayo. If you are using Greek yogurt, add 1 tsp of lemon juice.
-
To serve, toast brioche buns. Slater sriracha mayo onto the bun, then layer on a piece of fried chicken. Top with coleslaw, microgreens, and pickles. Enjoy!
