Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Chicken Sandwich
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Salt and pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 pieces burger buns soft and fluffy

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Shallow Dish
  • Bowl
  • Paper Towels

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Step 3: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. Step 4: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  5. Step 5: Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  6. Step 6: Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Step 7: Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a piece of crispy chicken, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
  8. Step 8: Enjoy your crispy chicken sandwich hot and fresh!

Notes

These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
