Steps
- 1
Prepare the chicken by cutting each boneless chicken breast in half lengthways, then pounding the pieces to an even thickness.
- 2
Place the chicken in a bowl. Season it with the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika powder, and garlic powder from the wet-batter ingredients.
- 3
Add the buttermilk and pickle juice to the chicken. Mix well so the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade.
- 4
Cover and marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- 5
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika powder, and garlic powder for the dry batter.
- 6
Remove a piece of chicken from the marinade and coat it thoroughly in the dry mixture.
- 7
Dip the chicken back into the wet marinade, then coat it a second time in the dry mixture. Press the flour firmly into the chicken to create a craggy textured coating. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- 8
Heat the deep-frying oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 9
Fry the coated chicken for 5–7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- 10
Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack to drain.
- 11
For the glaze, melt the butter in a pan and add the minced garlic. Cook briefly.
- 12
Stir in the honey, chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar.
- 13
Simmer the glaze until it is slightly thickened.
- 14
Toss the fried chicken in the honey-chipotle garlic glaze until coated.
- 15
Make the ranch dressing by whisking the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dill, parsley, and lemon juice until smooth.
- 16
Adjust the ranch dressing seasoning to taste, then chill the dressing before using.
- 17
Toast the brioche buns with butter.
- 18
Spread ranch dressing on both sides of each toasted bun.
- 19
Add the glazed chicken to the buns and top with the pickles. Serve as sandwiches.
