Instructions

Clean and trim chicken thighs; marinate in buttermilk, salt, and white pepper for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven until it reaches 350°F.
Create the coating by mixing self-rising flour with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and seasoning.
Remove chicken from marinade, coat in flour mixture, and fry until golden brown (about 7 minutes per side). Rest on a cooling rack.
For the sauce, simmer apricot preserves, chili sauce, honey, bourbon, and sriracha in a pot for about 5-7 minutes.
Prepare French toast by whisking eggs, milk, almond extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg; soak brioche slices briefly before frying in butter until golden.
