Chicken Marinade

Chicken Preparation

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk well until all ingredients are blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove chicken breasts from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each breast in the flour mixture, pressing down to ensure a good coating.

  3. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a piece of fried chicken on each bun, then top with lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Cover with the top half of the bun.
