Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 burger buns
Lettuce leaves (for garnish)
Tomato slices (for garnish)
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons hot sauce (or to taste)
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Creating the Fiery Chicken Sandwich with Rich and Creamy Homemade Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In another bowl, mix the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. This will create the spicy coating for the chicken.
Remove each chicken breast from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let them drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, hot sauce, and honey (if using). Adjust the hot sauce to taste for your preferred spice level.
Slice the burger buns in half. Spread a generous amount of the creamy sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a fried chicken breast on top, then add lettuce and tomato slices.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your fiery chicken sandwich with a side of fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
