Preparation Steps
- Pound the chicken breasts lightly and trim any extra fat off.
- In a small bowl, stir together the Cajun seasoning, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and sugar.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix to the buttermilk and stir to combine. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the chicken. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour up to overnight.
- When you are ready to start cooking, combine the remaining seasoning mix with the flour and whisk to combine.
- Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the buttermilk marinade and stir it into the flour mix. Keep some chunky flour pieces for crispiness.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour mix, dip back into the buttermilk, then dredge again, pressing the flour into the chicken.
- In a large heavy pan, add enough oil to cover the chicken partially. Heat over medium-high heat until a small amount of flour sizzles.
- Fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F). Remove and drain on a rack.
- To assemble, place the fried chicken on a toasted brioche bun, spread with mayonnaise and add pickles as desired.
