Sandwiches

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge it in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken breasts. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let drain on a paper towel.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Biscuits

    Preheat the oven according to the biscuit mix instructions. In a bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk. Stir until just combined and drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake the Biscuits

    Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the baked biscuits in half. Place a fried chicken breast on the bottom half of each biscuit, top with a slice of cheddar cheese and a pickle slice, then place the top half of the biscuit on the sandwich.
