Femboy Hooters

Marinating the Chicken In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight.

Making the Batter In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add in the cold water, whisking until a smooth batter forms.

Deep Frying Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

Frying the Chicken Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Dip each chicken breast into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully place the battered chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparing the Sauce In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Sandwich To assemble the Femboy Hooters sandwich, place a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Top with a fried chicken breast, a dollop of the sauce, and pickles. Cover with the top half of the bun.
