    Preparation


    1

    Wrap chicken breasts in plastic wrap and pound until evenly thick (about ¾ inch).

    2

    Whisk together marinade ingredients (buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper) in a large bowl.

    3

    Optional: Refrigerate chicken in marinade for 2-4 hours or overnight. Remove chicken and let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.

    4

    Add 1 cup of flour to the marinade and mix. Set aside.

    5

    Whisk together seasoned flour mixture ingredients in a shallow bowl or plate.

    6

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    7

    Dip each chicken piece into the marinade/flour mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure it sticks. Repeat the dip and coat process twice for each piece.

    8

    Fry chicken in hot oil for 8 minutes, then flip and fry for an additional 7 minutes until golden brown.

    9

    Remove chicken to a wire rack over a baking tray to drain excess oil.

    10

    Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

    11

    Assemble burgers by spreading sauce on the top bun, then layering pickles, fried chicken, cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce on the bottom bun.

    Notes

    For a healthier version, swap the hamburger bun for romaine lettuce leaves.
    Variations: Use jalapeño Havarti instead of cheddar, or toasted brioche buns for a more decadent sandwich.
    Chicken tenders can be used instead of breasts, though the resulting patty will be smaller.
    Store patties, sauce, and toppings separately in airtight containers.
