Dempster's Signature Spicy Habanero Hamburger Buns

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 Dempster's Signature Habanero Hamburger Buns
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 3 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 6 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup thinly sliced kale
  • 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 large red chili, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices provolone

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large re-sealable plastic bag add chicken thighs, buttermilk, 2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, garlic and onion powder, mix to combine, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly coated. Refrigerate to marinate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Once chicken has marinated. Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot halfway up with vegetable oil, and heat until 350°F.
  3. Once oil has reached 350°F, in another large bowl whisk together flour, 1 tsp smoked paprika and remaining salt and pepper. Working with one piece of chicken at a time dredge chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour and gently place in hot oil. Cook for 6 – 10 minutes, until coating is golden brown and chicken has reached 165°F.
  4. Transfer chicken to a baking rack lined tray, season with salt while hot. Place a slice of provolone over top of each thigh.
  5. In a small bowl stir together half the mayonnaise and remaining smoked paprika.
  6. In a large bowl whisk together remaining mayonnaise, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, season with salt and pepper. Add green onions, kale, cabbage, carrot, radishes and red chilis. Toss to coat.
  7. Spread mayo over bottom buns, top with fried chicken and slaw.
  8. Serve any remaining slaw on the side.

Tip: Use store bought pre-chopped coleslaw mix instead of chopping your own cabbage for the slaw.
