Method

  1. 1

    Marinate the chicken in the buttermilk while you prepare everything else.

  2. 2

    Mix the flour with half the cayenne and paprika. Coat the chicken in the seasoned flour, pressing to adhere.

  3. 3

    Shallow-fry the chicken in hot oil for 4–5 minutes each side until golden, crisp and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Warm 2 tablespoons of the frying oil with the hot sauce, remaining cayenne and brown sugar to make the Nashville glaze, and brush generously over the hot chicken.

  5. 5

    Pile into the toasted bun with mayonnaise and gherkin slices.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 130 g chicken breast and 3 burger buns. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
