Fried Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Dredging Mixture
In another bowl, mix the flour and Cajun seasoning together. This will be used to coat the chicken.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Dredge and Fry the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Fry the chicken in the hot oil for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwich
Place the fried chicken on the sweet buns, top with pickles, and drizzle with additional hot sauce if desired.
- 6
Serve
Serve the sandwiches hot with seasoned fries on the side and a small bowl of ranch dressing for dipping.
