Crispy Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and half of the salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, remaining salt, and pepper.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun. Add a piece of fried chicken, topped with lettuce and tomato. Place the top half of the bun on and serve hot.
