Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 sandwich buns
  • Lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles for serving
  • Your choice of sauce (mayo, sriracha, etc.)

Instructions

  • Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Prepare Breading: Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg and water, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Bread the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade. Dredge each piece in flour, dip into the egg wash, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel.
  • Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the sandwich buns, spread your choice of sauce on each side, add lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles, then top with the crispy chicken.
  • Serve: Close the sandwich and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, double coat the chicken by repeating the flour and panko steps.
  • Customize the sandwich with additional toppings like cheese or bacon.
  • Pair with fries or a side salad for a complete meal.
