A crispy fried chicken sandwich with a creamy, spicy bang bang sauce, fresh lettuce, and tangy pickles on soft burger buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 4 burger buns
- 1 cup lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced pickles

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Submerge the chicken breasts in buttermilk, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Mix the coating: In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Prepare the egg wash: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended and smooth.
- Coat the chicken: Dip the marinated chicken into the egg wash, then coat it thoroughly with the flour mixture.
- Fry the chicken: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and carefully place the chicken in the pan, frying until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes per side.
- Make the bang bang sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and hot sauce until well combined.
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast your burger buns to enhance the texture.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread bang bang sauce on buns, layer with crispy chicken, lettuce, and pickles. Add extra sauce on top, then close your sandwich.
Notes
Try marinating the chicken overnight for even better flavor. You can also use air fryers or bake the chicken for a healthier alternative.
