- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup hot sauce (plus more for marinating)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- Dill pickles
- Soft burger buns
Instructions
- 1. Marinate chicken: In a bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- 2. Dredge chicken: Set up three bowls with seasoned flour, whisked eggs (add extra hot sauce if desired), and panko breadcrumbs. Coat each marinated chicken breast in flour, egg, then breadcrumbs.
- 3. Fry chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken for about 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- 4. Assemble: Toast burger buns slightly in the same skillet. Spread mayo mixed with hot sauce on both sides of each bun, add fried chicken, and top generously with pickles.
- 5. Serve: Place sandwiches on plates and enjoy immediately while crispy and warm.
