directions
- Prepare spicy mayo: Mix garlic, mayonnaise and hot sauce in a small bowl. Cover and chill.
- Prepare slaw: Toss onion, jalapeno, cabbage, pickles and pickle juice in a large bowl to combine. (additional juice may be added if the mixture seems too dry.) Cover and chill.
- Prepare fried chicken: Whisk flour with black and cayenne peppers and salt in a shallow bowl. Pour buttermilk into another shallow bowl. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip in buttermilk, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Dredge again in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Pour oil into a large heavy skillet to depth of 1/2 inch. Heat oil to 350 degrees.
- Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to wire rack set inside a baking dish; season with salt.
- Assemble sandwiches: Spread cut sides of rolls with butter. Heat buttered sides in hot pan until browned and crisp, about 1 minute. Spread with spicy mayo. Build sandwiches with rolls, chicken and cabbage slaw.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
