Ingredients
Slaw
- 1 garlic head
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package slaw mix
Chicken
- 4 chicken thighs
- 4 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 gallon canola oil
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Sandwich
- 4 brioche buns
- 16 garlic dill pickle slices (see my other recipe)
Instructions
Slaw
- To make the slaw mix, remove all the roasted garlic from the head and mash it in a bowl. Once mashed, add mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Once combined, add the slaw mix and stir until well combined. Set aside.
Chicken
- To make honey butter, melt the butter in a bowl and add honey. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
- Preheat canola oil to 350 degrees over medium heat in a pot.
- Make batter by combining 2 cups of flour, corn starch, salt and pepper, paprika, garlic powder and buttermilk.
- In a separate bowl, place the other 2 cups of flour.
- Dredge the chicken in the batter, then into the flour and then into the fryer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan as the temperature will drop and make the chicken soggy. Once fried to a golden brown and has reached the internal temp of 165 degrees, remove from fry oil and dunk into honey butter. Remove and let drain.
Sandwich
- To assemble the sandwich, place chicken onto the bun, add a handful of slaw and 4 nice sized pickle slices.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut off the top of the garlic head and then sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and roast for 45-50 minutes. Set aside.
