Method
- To make the Spicy Cole Slaw: Mix together the garlic, mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce, cabbage, pickles, and pickle juice in a large bowl.
- Put in the refrigerator to chill.
- To make the Chicken: Add the flour, pepper, and 1/2 a teaspoon of kosher salt in a shallow bowl.
- Butterfly the chicken and cut into 4 thinly cut pieces.
- Add the buttermilk to a small bowl and dip the first piece of chicken to a bowl.
- Let the excess buttermilk drip off.
- Dredge into the flour mixture.
- Shake excess flour off.
- Repeat a second time, then lay gently onto a cookie sheet and repeat with 3 remaining pieces.
- Add the vegetable oil to your cast iron skillet until it is about a half inch high.
- Heat on medium until the oil is 350 degrees and fry the chicken 3 minutes on each side.
- Rest on wire rack and sprinkle salt to taste on top of the fried chicken pieces.
- Cut the rolls in half and spread butter on the cut sides.
- On a griddle brown the buns buttered side down.
- Alternately you can also make brown the buns in the pan before frying the chicken if you don't want to dirty a second pan/griddle.
- Assemble the bottom of the bun, then the chicken, then a cup of the cole slaw before topping with the top of the bun.
- Enjoy thoroughly then thank Vinny and Jon for the awesome recipe.
