Fried Chicken Sandwich

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk. Dip each chicken breast in the buttermilk, then coat with the flour mixture. Ensure they are well-coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess grease.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a piece of fried chicken. Top with a slice of Swiss cheese, 2 slices of bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices. Place the top half of the bun on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side if desired.
