Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, marinate the chicken breasts in your choice of buffalo sauce for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; one with beaten eggs; and one with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in egg, and then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each piece of chicken to melt.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast brioche buns lightly. Place the fried chicken with melted cheese on the bottom half of the bun, drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if desired, and top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries on the side.
