Fried Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

Coat the Chicken
In a separate bowl, place the flour. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and coat each piece thoroughly with flour.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F / 175°C).
- 4
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for about 12-15 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Drain the Chicken
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and let it drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Dish
On a serving plate, spread a layer of mayonnaise. Top with fried chicken, then add melted mozzarella cheese, smoked turkey slices, pickled cucumber, and optional jalapeno slices.
