📝 Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut lengthwise into 4 cutlets
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
• Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil for frying
• 4 buns (preferably brioche buns)
• Leaf lettuce
• Tomato sliced
• Red onion thinly sliced
• Pickle Chips

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine the chicken and the buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight.
2. 2Beat 2 eggs together in a wide shallow bowl. In another wide shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and, if using, cayenne pepper.
3. 3Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven, heavy stock pot, or deep fryer to 350 degrees. Using tongs or clean hands, remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk and dredge them into the flour mixture, then into the eggs, and then back into the flour mixture.
4. 4Fry the chicken breasts 2 at a time for about 4 minutes on the first side or until golden brown and then flip and fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken to paper towels or a rack to drain.
5. 5Toast the brioche buns and spread them with your choice of condiments. Layer with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and crispy chicken breast.
