Crispy Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Marinate chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    In a shallow dish, mix the flour and cornstarch. In another dish, place the breadcrumbs. Take each marinated chicken breast, coat it in the flour mixture, then dip it back into the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread ranch dressing on the bottom bun, add lettuce, place the crispy chicken on top, add dill pickles, and finish with the top bun.
