Instructions
- Cut each chicken thigh into half. Trim off excess skin if you desire.
- In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of coffee. Put the chicken thighs into the bowl and marinate the chickens in a refrigerator for 1 hour (take the bowl out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking).
- Make sauce for fried chickens: In another large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of coffee, sugar, miso and mirin until miso and sugar are dissolved. Set aside. Put all-purpose flour into a shallow plate.
- Crack in egg into a shallow bowl and beat well. Put panko and 1 teaspoon of coffee (not brewed) into another shallow plate and stir to combine.
- After chicken has been marinated, make fried chickens. Put enough oil to fry chickens in a work or fry pan and turn on the heat to medium-high. Dredge each chicken into flour, dip in egg and coat with panko coffee mixture. Work in a couple of batches.
- When the oil gets hot, reduce heat to medium and put chickens into the work/fry pan. Fry chickens until golden brown. Turn the chickens, reduce heat to medium-low and keep frying until cooked through. About 30-40 seconds before taking out chickens out, increase the heat to medium-high and keep frying chickens for another 30-40 seconds (to make crispy chickens) flipping once. Drain on paper towels.
- Then put fried chickens into the sauce bowl and toss to coat. Spread butter on both cut sides of each bun, place buns on a cookie sheet and toast until lightly brown or your desired doneness.
- Make cole slaw: In a medium-large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of coffee, mayonnaise, olive oil and rice vinegar. Add cabbages and carrots to the bowl, Mix to combine.
- Build burgers. On the bottom of each bun, butter spread side, put cole slaw evenly (drip off the excess dressing) and put 1 fried chicken for each and spread the sauce over the chicken.
- Put the top of the bun, butter spread side down, to cover.
