Instructions

  1. Step 1: Make the Brioche Buns
    1. In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. 2. Add warm milk and two eggs. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. 3. Knead in softened butter, a little at a time, until smooth. 4. Knead for 10-15 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic. 5. Cover and let rise for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size. 6. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape into buns. 7. Place on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another hour. 8. Preheat oven to 190°C. Brush buns with beaten egg and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Crispy Chicken
    1. Marinate the chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 1 hour (overnight is best). 2. In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and seasonings. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with vodka. 4. Remove chicken from buttermilk and coat in the dry mix. 5. Dip in the vodka-egg mixture, then back into the dry mix for an extra crispy coating. 6. Heat oil to 175°C. Fry chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, then drain on a rack. 7. Let cool slightly, then fry again for 2-3 minutes until extra crispy.
  3. Step 3: Make the Szechuan Honey Sauce
    1. In a small saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients. 2. Simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly
  4. Step 4: Make the Miso Mayo
    1. In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Make the Crunchy Asian Slaw
    1. In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. 2. Toss with rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey.
  6. Step 6: Assemble the Burgers
    1. Slice the brioche buns and toast them lightly. 2. Spread miso mayo on both sides of the bun. 3. Place a crispy chicken thigh on the bottom bun. 4. Drizzle generously with Szechuan honey sauce. 5. Top with crunchy Asian slaw. 6. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
