1
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 tablespoon Tabasco.
2
In another medium bowl, combine 2 cups flour with 2 teaspoons salt.
3
Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture, and again dredge in the flour mixture. Set aside the coated chicken thighs on a clean plate.
FRYING
4
Heat 2 liters of grapeseed oil in a large pot, such as a stockpot, to an optimal temperature of 370F. Ensure the pot is filled up to 2-3 inches with oil, allowing the chicken to float slightly.
5
Fry the chicken thighs in batches. Each batch should cook around 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Ensure to flip halfway through for an even fry. Maintain the oil's temperature around 350-380F by adjusting the heat accordingly. Let the oil come back up to 370F before starting the next batch.
6
Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.
SPICY OIL

Mix together 3 tablespoons cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a heatproof bowl.
8
Take 1/2 cup of hot oil from the pot and add it to the dry mix. Stir until well combined. If the mixture is too chunky, add a touch more oil.
9
Brush this spicy oil on both sides of each fried chicken thigh.
SLAW

Combine 2 cups of coleslaw mix, the juice of 1 lime, and 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro in a bowl. Toss until well mixed.
ASSEMBLY

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each Brioche bun, add a piece of spicy chicken, top with the cilantro-lime slaw, and some pickles. Repeat until all the sandwiched are assembled.
