Crispy Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of paprika. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread honey mustard on the bottom half of a brioche roll. Place the fried chicken on top, followed by 6 butter pickles. Top with the other half of the brioche roll.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Crispy Chicken Owney's Sandwich immediately while hot and crispy.
