Method

Prepare Chicken

Start by cleaning your chicken pieces and soaking them in buttermilk mixed with salt and white pepper. Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Heat Oil

In a Dutch oven, pour in about 1.5 inches of vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F.

Coat Chicken

Prepare a coating mixture using self-rising flour and your favorite spices. Coat the marinated chicken and fry each piece for about 7 minutes.

Make Sauce

In a saucepan, combine bourbon apricot chili sauce, honey, and a splash of sriracha. Simmer on medium heat for 5-7 minutes.

Prepare French Toast

Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and almond or vanilla extract. Dip brioche slices in the mixture and cook until golden brown.

Assemble

Layer the fried chicken between two slices of French toast, drizzling with bourbon apricot chili sauce.
