Instructions

Marinate the chicken by placing it in a resealable bag filled with buttermilk. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare the breading by whisking together all the breading ingredients in a large bowl.
Take the marinated chicken and dredge each piece in the breading mix, resting them for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a skillet and fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl until combined and creamy.
Toast the brioche buns in a pan with butter and assemble the sandwich with spring mix, fried chicken, and blue cheese sauce.

Notes

For a crispier chicken, consider refrigerating the breaded chicken for up to 2 hours before frying.
