Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns toasted
- mayonnaise
- lettuce leaves
- sliced tomato optional
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Place the chicken breasts in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are completely submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, to allow the chicken to marinate.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat them thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F. Drain the fried chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread mayonnaise on the toasted hamburger buns. Place a fried chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun, and top with lettuce leaves and sliced tomato.
- Serve the crispy buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches immediately.

Notes
- - For best results, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure maximum flavor and tenderness.
