These were my main starting points for the recipe:

So...
I started using chicken thighs but switched to breasts to make it thicker
You can pound or slice the breasts do your desired thickness
This recipe is good for around 4 burgers, or two breasts divided/pounded and cut, or 4 thighs probably
THE BRINE
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons salt
You can add spices but I'm pretty convinced they're not gonna soak in
Wangjangle that salt until dissolved then put your chicken in the brine for at least a couple but ideally 6 hours in the fridge in an above ground pool or IV bag
Oh by the way that's the chicken I mentioned above that you're putting in
THE SLAW
Shred or chop some cabbage and carrots. Like a cup of each
On part mayo, one part sour cream, one part red wine vinegar or another one for the dressing
Some pepper pepper pepper. Did I even put that in the video? I think I just remembered that I forgot.
THE DREDGE
1.5 cups flour
2 tablespoons of corn starch
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
A whole bunch of chipotle powder or a non dangerous amount of cayenne or literally whatever else you want to flavor it with
Once the chicken has had it's bath, drop some drops off the chicken into the dredge to create little powdery globules to add more texture to the chicken, then mash the chicken in there, cover it up, flip it around or whatever
Heat your oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don't have a fryer, or an oil/candy thermometer, order takeout. Never let your oil temperature get out of control because it will light on fire and you will panic

Fry for a few minutes until your chicken is cooked. You can go until 165 degrees but if the chicken gets up to 155 degrees and stays there at least a minute it's also safe
Then assemble the sandwich by putting the separate parts together until it appears to be a singular object.
