Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by brining your boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a buttermilk mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour seasoned with salt, another with beaten eggs, and the last filled with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. After brining, dredge each thigh in the flour, dip in eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  4. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  5. Carefully place the breaded chicken thighs in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the crispy chicken thighs onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and let them rest.
  7. To assemble, place each crispy chicken thigh onto a toasted brioche bun and serve with lemon wedges.
