Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup hot sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups oil for frying
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound until they are an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.
Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk, and finally back into the flour mixture to create a thick coating. Set the coated chicken aside on a plate.
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the chicken breasts, two at a time, for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken and place it on a wire rack to drain.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce and mix until fully combined to create the Buffalo sauce.
Brush or toss the fried chicken breasts in the Buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns in a skillet or toaster.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading ranch dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Add a Buffalo-coated chicken breast, followed by a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches!
