Cooking Instructions

1

Marinate the Chicken

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

2

Prepare the Coating

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and cornstarch. This will be used to coat the chicken.

3

Fry the Chicken

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture. Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4

Assemble the Sandwich

On each sandwich bun, place a piece of crispy chicken, top with lettuce leaves and slices of tomato. Close the sandwich with the other half of the bun.

5

Serve

Serve the Deluxe McCrispy™ sandwich hot with your favorite dipping sauce or fries.
