Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Grilling or Blackening

    If using the blackened or grilled method, preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and season generously with blackening seasoning on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Frying

    For the fried version, set up a breading station: in one bowl, place the flour; in a second bowl, beat the eggs; and in a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and then coat in breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Buffalo Fried

    If preparing buffalo fried chicken, toss the cooked chicken in buffalo sauce after frying.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Spread a layer of pickle aioli on the bottom half of each bun.

  3. 8

    Layer the shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, and the cooked chicken breast on top.

  4. 9

    Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently.

Serving Suggestions
