For the Nashville Chicken Sandwich

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each breast in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat. Shake off excess flour.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the oil. Fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Brush the fried chicken with Nashville hot sauce. On each burger bun, layer lettuce, the hot chicken, tomato slices, red onion, pickle slices, and top with coleslaw.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Nashville chicken sandwiches with a side of fries.
