Fried Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Fried Chicken Sandwich Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and chicken thighs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

2. 2

   Prepare the Breading

   In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Fry the Chicken

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Cook the Bacon

   In a separate pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

5. 5

   Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

   In a small bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. Mix well to create the house honey mustard sauce.

6. 6

   Assemble the Sandwich

   On the bottom half of each sandwich bun, layer the fried chicken, a slice of Swiss cheese, bacon, butter lettuce, and drizzle with honey mustard sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
