Crispy Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Crispy Chicken Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Remove marinated chicken from refrigerator, letting excess buttermilk drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  4. 4

    Make the Chipotle Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chipotle sauce, lime juice, and sugar until well combined.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Toss with a pinch of salt and set aside.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread chipotle mayo on the bottom half of the bun. Add fried chicken, a slice of tomato, and a generous serving of house slaw. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
