This Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich boasts a tantalizing crunch paired with spicy, tangy flavors, making it an ideal choice for game days or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce tomato, and pickles for topping

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  • In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  • Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing it in to adhere.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • While the chicken is frying, combine melted butter and Buffalo sauce in a bowl.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Toss the fried chicken in the Buffalo sauce mixture until well coated.
  • Toast the burger buns lightly on the skillet or under the broiler until golden.
  • Assemble the sandwich with crispy chicken, lettuce, tomato, and pickles on the toasted bun.
