Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 brioche or potato buns

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Submerge chicken breasts in the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the breading station: Set up three shallow dishes—one with seasoned flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Bread the chicken: Dredge each marinated chicken breast in flour, dip into egg mixture, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Fry the chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each piece for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place fried chicken on buns and layer with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and sauce.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
