Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts each split in half lengthwise (so you have 4 thin breast)
- 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp garlic powder divided
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
hot honey butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
assembly
- 4 burger buns lightly toasted
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup buttermilk ranch
Instructions
chicken
- Pat each chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each piece of chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow baking dish combine flour, 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk together.
- In another shallow bowl whisk together eggs.
- In a third shallow dish combine panko and remaining spices. Whisk together.
- Dredge each chicken breast into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dredge each chicken breast in beaten eggs until fully coated. Last, dredge each chicken breast in the panko mixture, pressing the crumb coating firmly onto each piece of chicken.
- Transfer coated chicken to a well, greased cooling rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Remove chicken breasts from refrigerator and spray each coated chicken breast with cooking spray on each side and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until coating has lightly browned and the chicken has cooked through.
hot honey butter
- While chicken is baking, combine melted butter, honey, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a small mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Once chicken is done baking, remove from oven and carefully brush spicy-honey butter all over each piece until fully and evenly coated.
assembly
- Spread ranch over the inner sides of each bun. Top with a piece of coated chicken. Top chicken with a handful of shredded lettuce. Place top buns over each sandwich and serve.
Notes
- Tips and Tricks for Baked Nashville Hot Chicken Success
- Vegetarian Friendly Version
- Although we love is baked Nashville hot chicken sandwich just the way it is, every now and then we enjoy sinking our teeth in a vegetarian friendly version using tofu steaks!
- To do this, simple swap the chicken breasts for 1 inch thick slices of extra firm tofu. Wrap each slice of tofu in paper towels and press between weighted rimmed baking sheets for an hour to release as much excess liquid possible. Then dredge, refrigerate, bake, brush, and assemble sandwiches according to the original instructions! Simple and delicious!
- Splitting each breast in half lengthwise will even out the thickness of each breast and create a shorter baking time without having to pound out each breast.
- It's important to really press the panko mixture onto each chicken breast to ensure it sticks well.
- Allowing the breaded chicken to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes will also really help the breading adhere to the chicken.
