Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by cleaning the chicken thighs, trimming any excess fat, and patting them dry with a paper towel. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk, salt, and white pepper for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, whisk together self-rising flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and Tony’s seasoning in a mixing bowl.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and coat each piece in the flour mixture. Fry the chicken for approximately 7 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  4. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine bourbon and sweet chili sauce, stirring well. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Assemble the sandwich by placing crispy fried chicken between two slices of French toast. Drizzle generously with the bourbon sweet chili sauce and serve immediately.
