Instructions

Whisk together buttermilk and egg and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken and ensure it’s submerged in the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for slaw. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
When ready to fry, mix together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat oil in frying pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until temperature reaches 350°F. Reduce heat to medium. Remove chicken from marinade with tongs, letting excess liquid drip back into bowl. Coat chicken in flour mixture and gently add to hot oil. Fry 3-4 minutes, until golden-brown, flip and fry additional 3 minutes, until cooked through. Transfer chicken to paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
Carefully transfer 1 cup cooking oil to mixing bowl and whisk in brown sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and paprika. Brush spicy oil over chicken until well-coated.
Spread mayonnaise on Texas toast and top with spicy fried chicken. Place two slices of Swiss cheese over chicken and top with slaw. Top with Texas toast and serve hot.
