A drive-thru favorite with super-crisp fried chicken, spicy mayo, pickle chips, and a glossy brioche bun. This is the copycat lane for the sandwich wars.

Method
Marinate the chicken in pickle juice and buttermilk, then coat thoroughly in the flour-cornstarch mix.
About 6 min
Tip: Cornstarch makes the crust lighter and shatter-crisp.
Fry until golden and juicy, letting the coating set fully before flipping.
About 8 min
Tip: Maintain oil temperature so the coating stays crisp instead of greasy.
Spread spicy mayo on buns, add chicken and pickles, then close and serve hot.
About 2 min
Tip: Let the sandwich rest 1 minute so the crust sticks to the chicken, not the bun.
