Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Breading

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading Mixture

    In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 5

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dredge each piece in the breading mixture, pressing to adhere. Shake off any excess flour.

  4. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil. Fry for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. 7

    Drain the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 8

    Toast the Buns

    While the chicken is cooling, toast the brioche buns in the skillet or an oven until lightly golden.

  2. 9

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of buttermilk ranch dressing. Layer with field greens, fried chicken, sliced tomato, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve the fried chicken sandwiches with a side of French fries or a salad.
