Ingredients: For the fried chicken
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. black pepper
• 2 c. buttermilk
• 1½ c. vegetable oil or shortening
Ingredients: For the hot-honey sauce

Ingredients: For topping
• 1 c. cabbage, shredded
• ¼ c. mayonnaise
• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• ½ tsp. celery seed
• 4 seeded hamburger buns

Instructions:
1. Place chicken breast in between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound flat with a mallet. Season flour with salt and pepper. Soak chicken in buttermilk and dredge in seasoned flour, tapping away any excess.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil reaches 325°F, carefully add chicken to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry for 10 minutes, flipping once, or until chicken is cooked thoroughly and is crispy and golden brown. Let drain on a baking rack.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk hot sauce, honey, and garlic. Dip chicken, coating thoroughly. Return to the baking rack to drain.
4. In a large bowl, toss together cabbage, mayonnaise, dijon, vinegar, and celery seeds until blended.
5. Top buns with chicken, slaw, and pickles before serving.
