Place the chicken breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, pour the buttermilk and submerge the chicken fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In another shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and set it aside.
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg, then coat it with the seasoned flour mixture. Ensure each piece is fully covered and gently shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated chicken fillets into the hot oil, being cautious to not overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Slice the gluten-free burger buns and toast them lightly on a pan or in the oven if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a fried chicken fillet, two slices of tomato, and two pickles slices.
Top each with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
