Gluten-Free Smokey Buffalo Hot Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients: Chicken: 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 cup pickle juice (for up to 2-hour marinade) Breading: 1 cup Robin Hood gluten-free flour 2 tbsp Rave BBQ Rubs Smokey Buffalo blend (for spice) Egg Mixture: 2 large eggs 1 cup buttermilk 1 tbsp Rave BBQ Rubs Smokey Buffalo blend For Frying: Vegetable oil for deep frying Sandwich Assembly: Gluten-free buns Dill pickles, sliced Coleslaw (optional) Mayo or preferred sauce Instructions: Marinate the Chicken (for up to 2 hours): Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour pickle juice over them. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for no more than 2 hours to prevent over-marinating. Prepare Breading and Egg Mixture: In one bowl, combine the Robin Hood gluten-free flour with 2 tbsp of Smokey Buffalo blend. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and 1 tbsp of the Smokey Buffalo blend for extra flavor. Bread the Chicken: Remove the chicken thighs from the pickle juice and pat them dry. Dip each piece into the seasoned flour, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour. Repeat this process to achieve three coats of breading, which will give you a crispy, thick coating. Deep Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place each chicken thigh in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the gluten-free buns and spread mayo or sauce on each side. Place the fried chicken thigh on the bottom bun, add sliced pickles, and top with coleslaw if desired. Place the top bun on the sandwich, and serve hot! Enjoy this perfectly spiced, gluten-free hot chicken sandwich without an overly lengthy marinade!
