Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 slices Pickles
Instructions
Cut each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner pieces. Pound to ensure even thickness.
In a shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together until combined.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs, ensuring it is completely coated.
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
Fry the breaded chicken pieces in the hot oil for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken and let it rest on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Toast the burger buns lightly in a pan or toaster.
Prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato into rings and rinse the lettuce leaves.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading mayonnaise on each half of the bun, adding a layer of lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato, pickles, and finally the crispy chicken piece.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
