Fried Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Fried Chicken Sandwich Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

2. 2

   Prepare the Coating

   In a shallow dish, place the flour and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Coat the Chicken

   Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, pressing lightly to adhere.

5. 5

   Fry the Chicken

   Carefully place the coated chicken thighs in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Prepare the Sandwich

   Slice the brioche buns and toast them lightly. Spread ranch dressing on the bottom half of the bun. Layer with crispy lettuce, sliced avocado, tomato, red onion, fried chicken, butter pickles, and top with the other half of the bun.
