- 2 g paprika
- 8 slices pickles
- 5 g salt
- 500 ml vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Step 4
Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C.
Step 6
Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
Step 7
Toast the buns with butter in a separate skillet until golden brown.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise and mustard on the buns, adding lettuce, pickles, and the fried chicken.
