Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Breading (for Crispy Version)

  1. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  2. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Grilled Version

  1. 4

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Remove chicken from marinade and brush both sides with the olive oil mixture.

  2. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On each burger bun, spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Place the lettuce leaves, grilled or crispy chicken, sliced tomatoes, and pickles on top. Close the buns and serve immediately.
