Instructions

Clean and pat dry chicken thighs. Marinate them in buttermilk, salt, and white pepper for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven until it reaches 350°F.
In a bowl, mix self-rising flour with spices for coating.
Remove chicken from marinade, coat with flour mixture, and fry until golden brown (about 7 minutes per side). Drain on a rack.
In a saucepan, simmer apricot preserves, chili sauce, honey, bourbon, and sriracha for 5-7 minutes until blended.
Prepare French toast by whisking eggs with milk and spices; soak brioche slices and fry in butter until golden.
Assemble the sandwich: place fried chicken between two slices of French toast and drizzle with sauce.
