Fried Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and cornstarch. This will be used for the chicken breading.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour-cornstarch mixture until fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- 6
Assemble the Sandwich
On each burger bun, spread a layer of mayonnaise. Add the fried chicken, pickles, lettuce, and sliced tomatoes. Top with the other half of the bun.
