Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut each chicken breast into three even pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry-brine the chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 1 1\/2 teaspoons black pepper; cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the dip and dredge: In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and base rub. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and 2 teaspoons of base rub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, then dip in the buttermilk mixture, then in the flour mixture again, shaking off the excess after each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. Working in batches, lower the chicken into the fryer and fry until crisp, 5 \u2013 8 mins. Remove the chicken and let it drain on the rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the spicy coating: Carefully ladle the lard or frying oil into a medium heatproof bowl and whisk in the cayenne pepper, brown sugar, 3\/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, the paprika and garlic powder. Baste the spice mixture over the hot fried chicken and place on rack.  Coat each side with additional base rub on both sides, coat thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter brioche slider buns and toast on frying pan at medium heat.  Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the special sauce, mix 1 cup of mayo, half cup of ketchup and add diced pickles.  Mix well and set to the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the coleslaw, shred green and red cabbage.  Thinly slice carrots and add to bowl.  Add may, apple sider vinegar, salt, pepper, honey and celery seed and mix well.  Set aside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
