  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.

Fry the Chicken

  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.
Assemble

  2. Layer with lettuce, pickles, and hot sauce–glazed chicken. Serve immediately.
