Fried Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Fried Chicken Sandwich Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

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

2. 2

   Prepare the Aioli

   In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, roasted pineapple chunks, and chopped jalapeno. Set aside.

3. 3

   Dredge the Chicken

   In a separate bowl, combine flour and cornstarch. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

4. 4

   Fry the Chicken

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

5. 5

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Lightly toast the brioche buns. On the bottom half, layer lettuce, fried chicken, pepper jack cheese, sliced tomato, onion, avocado, and a generous dollop of the roasted pineapple-jalapeno aioli. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
