Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the Chicken with buttermilk, 1 tsp salt, and tsp black pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
Prepare the Dry Coating: In a separate bowl, whisk together all Dry Coating ingredients.
Coat the Chicken: Remove chicken from the buttermilk marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each chicken breast in the Dry Coating, ensuring it's fully coated.
Fry the Chicken: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
Prepare the Slaw: In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Mix well.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a fried chicken breast on each hamburger bun. Top with a generous amount of Slaw. Serve immediately.
