Crispy Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Crispy Chicken Sandwich Directions
- 1
Marinate Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and chicken breasts. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare Coating
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- 3
Heat Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 4
Dredge Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- 5
Fry Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts 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 the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Drain Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 7
Prepare Slaw
In a bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Assemble Sandwich
On the bottom half of each brioche bun, place the crispy chicken breast. Top with coleslaw, pickles, and drizzle honey over the top. Place the top half of the bun on to complete the sandwich.
