Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate Chicken: Wash and trim excess fat from the chicken. Combine with buttermilk, salt, and white pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  2. Prepare Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a pot to 350°F. Use a thermometer for accuracy.
  3. Coat Chicken: Mix flour with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and Tony’s seasoning. Coat marinated chicken thoroughly with the flour mixture.
  4. Fry Chicken: Fry each piece in hot oil for about 7 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to drain.
  5. Make Sauce: Combine ingredients for the bourbon sweet chili sauce in a pot. Heat over medium-low for 5-7 minutes until warmed.
  6. Prepare French Toast: Whisk together eggs, milk, almond extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Dip brioche slices in the mixture and cook in a skillet until golden brown.
  7. Assemble Sandwich: Place fried chicken between two slices of French toast and drizzle with bourbon sweet chili sauce. Serve hot.
