Ultimate Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Melty Cheese. The best comfort food you’ll crave all week long!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup spicy mayo or chipotle aioli
  • 1 brioche burger bun
  • 1 tbsp butter (for toasting bun)
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
  2. Mix flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken until fully coated.
  3. Fry chicken in hot oil (350°F) until golden and crispy, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Layer cheddar on the fried chicken and melt it under a broiler or with a torch.
  5. Toast the brioche bun with butter, spread spicy mayo on both sides, and assemble the sandwich.

Notes

  • Soaking the chicken in buttermilk makes it juicier.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less paprika.
  • For extra crispiness, double-dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.
