Method
Preparation Steps for Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each breast in the seasoned flour, pressing to adhere.
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil. Fry for about 6-8 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. Place a fried chicken breast on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and the top half of the bun.
Serve
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
