Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken: Marinate the chicken tenders in buttermilk and hot sauce for at least 30 minutes.
  • Coat and Fry the Chicken: Coat the marinated chicken in seasoned flour, then deep fry until golden brown and crispy.
  • Prepare the Cheese Sauce: Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan, then whisk in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced red peppers, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Assemble the Chicken Sandwich: Layer the crispy chicken, lettuce, pickles, and onions on a toasted brioche bun. Drizzle with a generous amount of cheese sauce.
  • Make the Fries: Fry the potato strips until crispy, then season with salt and pepper.

 

  • Serve everything hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can adjust the level of heat in the chicken marinade by adding more or less hot sauce.
  • For extra flavor, you can add some cayenne pepper to the flour coating.
  • If you want to make the fries even crispier, soak the cut potatoes in water for 30 minutes before frying and pat them dry before cooking.
