Ingredients

  • For the Chicken: 

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1/4 cup Tony Chachere’s Pepper Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Tony Chachere’s Bold Creole Seasoning

  • For the Dredge:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 tablespoon Tony Chachere’s Spice N’ Herb Creole Seasoning

  • For Frying: 

  • beef tallow

  • For the Hot Honey Glaze: 

  • 1/4 cup reserved frying tallow

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoons Tony Chachere’s Pepper Sauce

  • For Serving: 

  • 4 brioche buns

  • mayonnaise

  • dill pickle chips
  • Clear

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, buttermilk, Pepper Sauce, and Bold Creole Seasoning. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and Spice N’ Herbs Creole Seasoning.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge each thigh in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly so the coating is well packed onto the chicken.
  4. Heat beef tallow to 375°F. Fry the chicken thighs for 7–8 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and crispy.
  5. Toast the brioche buns until lightly golden.
  6. In a bowl, combine the reserved hot tallow and butter, stirring until the butter melts. Add the honey and Louisiana Pepper Sauce and whisk until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the hot honey glaze generously over the fried chicken.
  8. Spread mayonnaise on the toasted brioche buns, then top with pickles and the glazed chicken. Crown with the top bun and serve immediately.
