Fried Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken breasts and fry for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make BBQ Ranch Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce and ranch dressing until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the pretzel buns on a grill or skillet. Spread the BBQ ranch sauce on the bottom bun, place the fried chicken on top, add fried onion strings and dill pickles, then cover with the top bun.
