Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Ranch dressing
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet for consistent cooking.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and coat it with breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the breaded chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and stir in the Buffalo sauce until well combined.
Brush the cooked chicken with the Buffalo sauce mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet or toaster if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, adding a Buffalo chicken breast, and drizzling with ranch dressing. Top with the remaining half of the bun.
Serve immediately with a side of fries or your favorite chips.
