✨ AI Summary Step-by-Step Cooking Guide Ingredients 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups potato starch 3 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder 2 tablespoons paprika 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 2 teaspoons black pepper 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (adjust per sandwich style) 3 cups buttermilk 2 eggs, beaten 2 tablespoons hot sauce 4-6 cups lard or beef tallow (for frying) 8 yellow potato buns or brioche buns 4 tablespoons butter (for toasting buns) Your choice of sauce/topping combo from the Master List (see notes) Suggested toppings per sandwich style: pickles, coleslaw, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, etc. Directions 1 Set up your breading station: In one bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, and hot sauce. In another bowl, combine flour, potato starch, chicken bouillon, and spices (adjust spices based on your chosen Chicksan style — add curry powder for Tikka Masala, extra cayenne for Buffalo, etc.). 2 Pound chicken thighs to even thickness if needed. Dip each thigh in buttermilk mixture, then dredge in seasoned flour mixture, pressing to coat well. For extra crispy coating, double-dip: back in buttermilk, then flour again. 3 Heat lard or tallow in a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F. Fry chicken thighs in batches for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Don't crowd the pan. Drain on a wire rack. 4 While chicken rests, butter the cut sides of your buns and toast them in a skillet or under the broiler until golden brown. 5 Prepare your chosen sauce and toppings from the Master List. For example: Butter Chicken Chicksan gets butter chicken sauce, pickled red onions, tomatoes, goat cheese, and mint cucumber lassi drizzle. 6 Assemble sandwiches: Bottom bun, fried chicken thigh, your signature sauce, creative toppings that match the flavor profile, top bun. Serve immediately while chicken is hot and crispy.
