Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients

• •2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1 teaspoon garlic powder
• •1 teaspoon paprika
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •½ teaspoon black pepper
• •1 cup buttermilk
• •2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• •2 soft hamburger buns
• •4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• •4 slices dill pickle

Directions

1. 1Pound chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness between plastic wrap using a meat mallet.
2. 2Combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl; pour buttermilk into another bowl.
3. 3Dip each chicken breast into buttermilk, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
4. 4Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. 5Fry chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. 6Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
7. 7Toast buns lightly if desired, then spread 2 tablespoons mayo on each bun.
8. 8Assemble sandwiches with fried chicken, pickles, and top bun; serve immediately.

💡 Fry the chicken in batches so the oil temperature stays high; crowding is the fastest route to a greasy sandwich crust.
