Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for about 10-12 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Brush the hot chicken pieces with BBQ sauce until well coated.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On a plate, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a fried chicken piece. Top with pickle chips, sliced tomato, a drizzle of ranch dressing, and a handful of french fried onions.
