Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Rinse and pat dry the boneless chicken breasts. Season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- 2
Coat the Chicken
Set up a breading station: In one bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the bread crumbs. Dip each seasoned chicken breast first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
- 4
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Buffalo Sauce

Make the Buffalo Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the Red Hot Wing sauce and unsalted butter. Heat over low heat until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined.

Coat the Chicken
Once the chicken is fried, place it in a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken. Toss to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
Assembly

Melt the Cheese
Place the buffalo-coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Top each piece with a slice of pepper jack cheese. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Toast the Buns
While the chicken is broiling, toast the burger buns until golden brown.

Assemble the Sandwich
Place the melted cheese-covered buffalo chicken on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
