Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken by placing the chicken thighs in a bowl with buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare jalapeno honey glaze by combining honey and finely chopped jalapenos in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until jalapenos soften.
  3. Coat the chicken by mixing flour, salt, pepper, and additional spices. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken thighs for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Remove cooked chicken from oil and drain on a wire rack. Assemble the sandwich by placing chicken on a brioche bun, drizzling with jalapeno honey glaze, and adding toppings.
