Pound chicken to 1cm thickness and trim to fit the buns. Marinade in buttermilk for 3 to 24 hours.

Mix flour and corn flour with seasoning ingredients. Add 2 tbsp of marinade to the mixture and rub with fingers to form clumps for extra crispiness.

Coat the marinated chicken with the crunchy coating mixture.

Heat vegetable oil to 180°C/350°F and fry the chicken for 4 minutes, avoiding touching it for the first 90 seconds.

Lightly toast the buns and spread mayonnaise on both the top and bottom buns.

Layer iceberg lettuce, tomato slices (if using), crispy chicken, and pickles on the bottom bun, then cover with the top bun.
