Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 6 oz Chicken breast
• 1 tbsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 Brioche bun
• 1/4 cup Pickles
• 1/2 cup Coleslaw
• 1 tbsp Mayonnaise

Steps

1. Set up three shallow dishes: seasoned flour, beaten egg, and flour mixed with cayenne and paprika.
2. Pound the chicken breast to an even 3/4-inch thickness.
3. Dredge in plain flour, dip in egg, then coat firmly in the cayenne flour mixture.
4. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a cast-iron skillet to 350°F.
5. Fry 4–5 minutes per side until deeply golden and 165°F at the thickest point.
6. Drain on a wire rack 2 minutes — then brush the hot crust with cayenne-spiked oil for the signature heat.
7. Toast the brioche bun cut-side down in the skillet.
8. Stack pickles and coleslaw on the bottom bun, add the chicken, and crown it.
