# Steps to Cook:

01 - Combine chicken thighs with buttermilk, salt, and white pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
02 - In a bowl, mix self-rising flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt.
03 - Remove chicken from marinade, dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a Dutch oven and fry chicken until golden brown, approximately 7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
04 - Simmer apricot preserves, honey, and sriracha in a small saucepan over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
05 - Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and ground black pepper. Dip brioche slices in the egg mixture, coating evenly. Fry in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat until golden on both sides.
06 - Place fried chicken between two slices of French toast and drizzle with the apricot sweet chili sauce before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For best results, allow the chicken to marinate overnight to enhance tenderness and flavor.
