  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 Eggs beaten
  • Vegetable Oil for frying
  • 2 Sandwich Buns
  • Lettuce such as butter or romaine, a few leaves

  • 2 tablespoon Truff Hot Sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Butter

Equipment

  • Instant-read thermometer
  • Tongs or slotted spoon

Method
 

Bread the Chicken
  1. Pound chicken to an even ½-inch thickness if using breasts. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up two shallow bowls: one with flour, the other with beaten eggs.
  3. Dredge chicken in flour, then dip into the egg, then back into the flour. Let sit for at least 5 minutes (or cover and refrigerate overnight).
Fry the Chicken
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 360°F.
  2. Fry chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Internal temp should reach 165°F.
  3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Toss in Truff Sauce
  1. In a clean skillet over medium heat, melt butter with Truff hot sauce. Stir to combine.
  2. Add the fried chicken and sear 1 minute per side in the sauce until coated and glossy. You'll know it's ready to flip once it releases from the pan. It sticks because the crust is still forming, so don't nudge it around if it's not releasing. The protein will almost always tell you when it's ready.
Assemble
  1. Lightly toast sandwich buns.
  2. Layer with lettuce, pickles, and hot sauce–glazed chicken. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: best assembled and eaten hot. If you have leftover fried chicken, keep it plain (without the buns) in the fridge for a day and reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crunch, then toss in a fresh batch of Truff butter before serving. Skip the microwave.
