Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup hot honey
- 4 brioche buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- Optional: pickles
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients for a smooth cooking process.
- In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, and garlic powder. Dredge each chicken thigh in the mixture until well coated.

- Slice the brioche buns open. Layer shredded lettuce on the bottom half, then add crispy chicken, fresh tomato slices, and pickles if desired.
- Drizzle with hot honey sauce before topping with the other half of the bun.
- Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the best flavor.

- For added freshness, consider incorporating fresh herbs like basil or cilantro.
- Toasting the brioche buns enhances their texture and flavor; don’t skip this step!
- Customize toppings based on your preferences—avocado or additional veggies work great.
