Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 sandwich buns
- Pickles, for serving
- Lettuce or coleslaw, for serving
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound gently to even thickness (about 1/2 inch).
- In a bowl, pour buttermilk over the chicken breasts. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator.
- Coat the Chicken:
- In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Remove chicken breasts from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing to coat evenly.
- Fry the Chicken:
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place chicken breasts in the hot oil, cooking 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
- Transfer fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Toast sandwich buns lightly, if desired.
- Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise or your favorite sauce on the bottom bun.
- Place fried chicken breast on the bun.
- Top with pickles and lettuce or coleslaw for extra crunch and flavor.
- Add the top bun and press gently to combine all the flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your crispy fried chicken sandwiches immediately, and enjoy the crunchy, juicy goodness!
