Crispy Chicken Sandwich
A homemade version of the famous crispy chicken sandwich, better than any drive-thru.
Instructions
- Soak chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for extra tender chicken).
- Mix flour with paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt in a shallow dish.
- Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge in seasoned flour, pressing to adhere.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F.
- Fry chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal).
- Rest on a wire rack for 2 minutes.
- Toast buns, spread with mayo, and add pickles and crispy chicken.
- Serve immediately.
