Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 pieces Hamburger buns
• 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
• 6 slices Pickle chips
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Submerge the pounded chicken breasts in this mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, beat the egg.

Step 5

In a third shallow dish, spread the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk marinade, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 7

In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Lightly toast the hamburger buns in a clean skillet or under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to make the sandwich spread.

Step 11

Assemble the sandwich by spreading the mayo-mustard mixture on both halves of each bun. Layer the bottom bun with lettuce, a fried chicken breast, tomato slices, and pickle chips. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Special Country Breaded Chicken Sandwich!
