Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, and cayenne pepper. Submerge the chicken breasts and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper. Add the cabbage and carrots, mixing well. Chill until ready to assemble.
  3. Remove chicken from refrigeration. In a shallow dish, mix flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Dredge the chicken thoroughly.
  4. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on wire rack.
  5. Toss the hot chicken in buffalo sauce or brush it generously for flavor.
  6. Toast brioche buns. Assemble the sandwich with chicken on the bottom and a generous portion of ranch slaw on top.
