Dijon Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich
Fried chicken thighs tossed with hot honey Dijon mustard sauce and fresh arugula. Simple, sweet, spicy, and tangy.
Ingredients
Method
- Clean your chicken thighs and mix them in a large bowl with spices, buttermilk, and hot sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour and cornstarch. Remove chicken thighs from marinade and coat fully in flour mix.
- Place coated chicken on a clean plate and set aside. Heat a skillet with avocado oil about ½ to ¾ inches high. Heat on medium until flour begins to sizzle when it touches.
- Fry chicken on both sides until golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked (about 3-4 minutes per side). Drain excess oil and rest on a rack or a plate lined with paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, honey, and hot sauce. Mix fully and toss chicken thighs in sauce until fully coated.
- Toast Brioche buns and serve with arugula on top.
