Ingredients
For the Chicken Fillet
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut half lengthwise
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- vegetable oil for frying
Dredging Mix
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tablespoon salt
- 1/4 tablespoon paprika
For the Sandwich
- 8 Glazed Donuts
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a large mixing bowl, add buttermilk, salt and pepper. Mix well and add chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
- Make the dredging mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, oregano, white pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Fry the chicken: When ready to cook, place a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat and add 2 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 350˚F (177˚C).
- Working one at a time, remove each chicken piece from the marinade. Shake to remove excess, and then place it in the dredging mix and coat thoroughly. Tap off the excess.
- Slowly lower the breaded chicken pieces into the oil with a slotted spoon. You’ll notice that the temperature will drop slightly, so adjust the heat so that the temperature will stay between 300-350˚F.
- Fry each piece for about 10-15 minutes, turning each piece every 2 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F.
- Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a cooling rack. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place one donut on a plate, then add the crispy chicken on top. Add another donut on top. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
- Make sure to keep the oil temperature between 300-350˚F.
- I suggest marinating the chicken for at least 3 hours for the juiciest and tender chicken. If you are in a rush, you can marinate for 1 hour, but don’t skip this process.
