Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the breaded chicken breasts for 4β5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165Β°F). Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and stir in the buffalo sauce until well combined.
Dip or brush the fried chicken breasts generously with the buffalo sauce.
To assemble the sandwiches, toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Spread ranch or blue cheese dressing on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer with lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, and the buffalo chicken breast. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
