Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup hot sauce
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups oil for frying
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces tomato slices
• 0.5 cup ranch dressing

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound until they are an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk, and finally back into the flour mixture to create a thick coating. Set the coated chicken aside on a plate.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fry the chicken breasts, two at a time, for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken and place it on a wire rack to drain.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce and mix until fully combined to create the Buffalo sauce.

Step 8

Brush or toss the fried chicken breasts in the Buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

Step 9

Lightly toast the hamburger buns in a skillet or toaster.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading ranch dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Add a Buffalo-coated chicken breast, followed by a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and the top half of the bun.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches!
