Description

A cozy comfort food delight with tender, juicy chicken and a crispy flour coating, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 sandwich buns
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Pickles (optional)
  • Your favorite sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Preheat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dip the chicken into the flour mixture, coating well.
  5. Fry the chicken in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  6. Drain the fried chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  7. Assemble the sandwiches with fried chicken, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and sauce if desired.

Notes

You can marinate the chicken the night before for deeper flavor. Try using chicken breasts of similar size for even cooking.
