Crispy Chicken Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Submerge the chicken breasts in the mixture and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, mix flour and cornstarch together. This will be used to coat the chicken.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and allow excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring an even coat.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwich
Toast the brioche buns lightly. On the bottom bun, layer lettuce, the fried chicken, tomato slices, craft pickles, and a generous drizzle of Chipotle Ranch dressing. Top with the other half of the bun.
