Cooking
Method
Marinating Chicken
Prepare Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Marinate Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Breading Chicken
Prepare Breading Mixture
In a shallow dish, mix together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Coat Chicken
Remove chicken from marinade and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the breading mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Cooking Chicken
Heat Oil
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Fry Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Drain Chicken
Once cooked, remove chicken from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Assemble Sandwich
Prepare Buns
Toast hamburger buns lightly if desired. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Add Toppings
Place a piece of fried chicken on top of the mayonnaise, add a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato.
Complete Sandwich
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
