Step 1
Trim an excess fat from the chicken. Pound each piece flat. I like to put them in a one gallon baggie and then pound them so the chicken doesn't splatter.
Step 2
Whisk together the buttermilk, dressing, and seasoning. Pour into a large resealable container. Add the chicken and seal.
Step 3
Refrigerate overnight.
Step 4
Combine all but the dressing in a large bowl.
Step 5
Drizzle dressing over the top of the slaw and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to make the sandwiches,
Step 6
Heat 3" of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or heat a deep fryer filled with oil to 375 F.
Step 7
Whisk together the batter ingredients in a pie pan or shallow bowl.
Step 8
Remove chicken from the brine and shake off any excess. Transfer to the batter mixture and coat well, turning to get all sides.
Step 9
Place chicken in the oil and fry until internal temperature is 160-165 F, turning once. If you pounded the chicken very thin it won't take long to cook, 2-3 minutes per side. The coating will turn a lovely golden brown when it's done.
Step 10
Remove pieces to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 11
Toast the buns if you wish.
Step 12
Add a piece of chicken to each bun and top with plenty of the slaw and few pickle slices.
