Instructions
1- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Submerge the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
2- Prepare the Flour Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, corn starch, salt, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. This will be your flour coating.
3- Coat the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off.
- Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip it back into the buttermilk, followed by a second coating in the flour mixture. Press gently to ensure an even coat.
4- Fry the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the chicken in batches, about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a cooling rack to drain excess oil.
5- Make the Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise with sriracha, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, and onion powder.
- Adjust spices to your taste preference.
6- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread the sauce on your choice of buns, place the crispy chicken on top, and add your favorite toppings (like pickles, lettuce, or tomato).
- Enjoy immediately.
