For the Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Method
Preparation Steps
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. This helps to tenderize the chicken.
Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken breasts. Fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Sandwich
On each burger bun, spread mayonnaise, add a piece of crispy chicken, a leaf of lettuce, and slices of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve
Serve the crispy chicken sandwiches immediately while hot and enjoy!
