- 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoon Sriracha*
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Kosher salt
- *Available in most super-markets in the condiments section
- FOR THE CHICKEN AND ASSEMBLY:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 cup buttermilk

- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Instructions
- Make the homemade buttermilk biscuits (click here for easy recipe)
- MAKE THE SRIRACHA MAYO:
- Mix all ingredients in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and keep in the fridge until ready to use (can be made a day before).
- MAKE THE CHICKEN AND ASSEMBLE:
- Lightly season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Whisk flour, ½ teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon salt and the garlic powder in a medium bowl.
- Pour buttermilk into another bowl, and add hot sauce (to taste, 3 - 5 shakes is good).
- One piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, and shake off the excess.
- Dip in buttermilk, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, and then dredge again in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Continue with remaining chicken. Place in fridge.
- Pour oil into a large heavy skillet to a depth of ½-inch.
- Add deep-fry thermometer in oil and heat to 350 F. (or toss in a small piece of bread, should sizzle and start to brown after a minute or so).
- Take chicken out of fridge and fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a wire rack.
- Smear some sirarcha mayo on each side of the cut buttermilk biscuits.
- Top with a couple pieces of the fried chicken.
- Add a couple bread-and-butter pickles (optional).
- Top with biscuit top.
- Enjoy!
