Fried CHicken with Garlic sauce

This totally looks like a normal fried chicken sandwich but what you can't tell from the photo is that it's not just any old fried chicken sandwich - it's a buttery, garlicky fried chicken sandwich. That's right. I roasted garlic and then mashed and combined that with melted butter in order to create the best non-buffalo tasting fried-chicken sauce I've ever had.

What you need:

• 6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 2 tbsp seasoned salt (Lawry's)
• 1 head of garlic (use 6-8 cloves depending on how strong you like your garlic)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 stick of salted butter
• 3 cups veg oil for frying the chicken
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 6 brioche buns
• lettuce
  
• pickles
  
• mayo

What to do:

1. Brine the chicken thighs in 4 cups of cold water with the seasoned salt for at least two hours. (Overnight at the most and I find that a gallon ziplock bag works perfect.)
2. Roast the garlic. Slice off the top part of a head of garlic, place it on a sheet of tinfoil and pour about 1 tbsp good quality olive oil over the top. Wrap the tinfoil around the garlic head and make sure it's completely covered. I roasted my garlic head for 25 minutes at 400 F.
3. After the garlic has been roasted, the cloves should easily slide out and should be super soft so that you can mash with a fork. I prefer to blend them with the melted butter in a food processor - if you don't have them a whisk should work too!
4. Heat 3 cups of vegetable oil in a large pot. Every stove is different but I crank mine 3/4 of the way to as high as it can go. (If you're normal and own a thermometer, the oil should be around 350 degrees F.)
5. Combine the flour, garlic powder and salt in a large bowl and dredge each piece of chicken in it before dropping into the oil and frying until golden brown. (About 8-10 min)
6. Spread a little of the garlic butter onto each brioche bun piece and toast in the oven for 6-8 minutes at 350 degrees F.
7. Brush a generous amount of the garlic butter onto the fried chicken pieces before assembling the sandwiches. 
8. I did bun, lettuce, pickles chicken, mayo and then top bun. Serve and eat while they're hot!
