Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Ranch Slaw
  1. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, and cayenne pepper. Submerge the chicken breasts in the mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and parsley. Fold in the shredded cabbages and carrots, season to taste, and chill.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
  4. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Dredge chicken in the flour mixture and fry until golden brown and cooked through. Let rest on a wire rack.
  5. Once the chicken has rested, toss in buffalo sauce. Ensure it’s well coated or lightly brushed per preference.
  6. Toast brioche buns until golden. Assemble the sandwiches with fried chicken and ranch slaw, and serve immediately.
