Ingredients

    Sandwich

    • 4 boneless chicken thighs or breasts (4-5 oz each)
    • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
    • 3 tablespoons (divided) of Spiceology’s Yum Yum Seasoning
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup cornstarch
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp salt
    • Vegetable oil for frying
    • 4 brioche or potato buns

    Sandwich Toppings

    • Pickles for topping (optional)
    • 8 slices of tomatoes

    Yum Yum Sauce

    • ½ cup mayo
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 1 tsp honey
    • 1 tsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp Sriracha or chili paste (optional)

    Directions

      Make the Chicken

      1. Marinade chicken thighs with 1 Tbsp of the Yum Yum Seasoning and hot sauce (we used Tabasco).

      2. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and another 1 Tbsp Yum Yum Seasoning.

      3. Dredge chicken from marinade into dry mix, pressing firmly for texture.

      4. Fry at 350 °F for 4–6 minutes until golden brown and internal temp reaches 165 °F.

      5. Drain on rack; rest 2 minutes.

      Make the Yum Yum Sauce

      1. Whisk mayo, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, sriracha (if using), and final 1 Tbsp Yum Yum Blend

      Assemble the Sandwich

      1. Toast buns lightly.

      2. Layer lettuce, tomato, fried chicken, and pickles.

      3. Top with extra drizzle of sauce for presentation.
      Sandwich Secrets Worth Knowing

      It’s all about the flavor combo. Juicy grilled chicken meets bold Yum Yum seasoning and creamy sauce for a sweet, savory, slightly spicy bite that hits every craving at once.

      Absolutely. If you like turning up the heat, add extra Yum Yum seasoning, a drizzle of hot sauce, or some sliced jalapeños. Spiceology believes flavor should always be customizable.

      Fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles, and extra Yum Yum sauce are always winners. Want to level it up? Try avocado, crispy bacon, or melty cheese for a next-level sandwich situation.
