Instructions for Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts and buttermilk. Make sure the chicken is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of the flour mixture into it; it should sizzle.
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Assemble the Sandwich
Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a piece of fried chicken, a lettuce leaf, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy chicken sandwich!
