Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Hamburger buns
• 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium, sliced Tomato
• 4 slices Pickles
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness if needed and season both sides with a mixture of salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and back into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).

Step 6

Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil and fry for about 8-10 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with hot sauce to make the spicy mayonnaise.

Step 9

Toast the hamburger buns lightly on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 10

Assemble each sandwich with a layer of spicy mayonnaise on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, a slice of tomato, the fried chicken breast, pickles, and the top bun with more spicy mayonnaise.

Step 11

Serve the spicy chicken sandwiches immediately while hot.
