Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Preparation

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

2. Dredge the Chicken

In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

3. Fry the Chicken

In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Carefully add the dredged chicken breasts to the oil and fry for about 6-8 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).

4. Assemble the Sandwich

Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a fried chicken breast on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. Serve

Serve the crispy chicken sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides.
