Method
Chicken Marinade

Prepare the Breading Mixture
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Frying

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

Bread the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dredge each piece in the breading mixture, pressing down to adhere the breading to the chicken. Shake off any excess flour.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the fried chicken, sliced tomato, pickles, and then the top half of the bun. Serve hot.
