How to Make Saucy Chicken Sandwich?
- Lay a piece of chicken on your cutting board and cover it with cling film. Gently pound it with a rolling pin or similar tool until it’s an even thickness. Do the same for the other chicken breasts.
- Mix buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken, making sure it’s completely coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible.
- Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and allow it to warm to room temperature.
- Combine flour, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, baking powder, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Thoroughly coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure good coverage. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (180°C). Fry chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side. Once golden and crisp, check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (75°C). Allow the chicken to drain on a wire rack with paper towels underneath.
- For the glaze, whisk hot frying oil, honey, hot sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Brush the glaze generously on both sides of the fried chicken.
- Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom of each bun. Layer with shredded lettuce, glazed chicken, pickles, and jalapeños. Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy every saucy bite!
This saucy chicken sandwich is sure to satisfy your cravings. Serve it with coleslaw, chips, or sweet potato wedges for a complete, restaurant-worthy meal. Indulge in the perfect combination of spice, crunch, and tenderness!
