Prepare the Nashville Hot Chicken: Brine chicken thighs in a salt and sugar solution for at least 4 hours. Pat dry and dredge in flour mixture. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Toss with Nashville Hot Spice Blend and brown sugar.
Make the Truffle Aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, truffle oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano, nutmeg, sea salt, and white pepper. Cook until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
Assemble the Subs: Slice the cooked chicken. Split the brioche sub rolls and spread with truffle aioli. Fill with baby arugula, sliced heirloom tomatoes, hot chicken, and Alfredo sauce. Serve immediately.
