Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 hamburger buns
- Mayonnaise
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Pickles (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by pounding the chicken breasts gently to an even thickness. This will ensure they cook evenly.
- In a shallow dish, pour the buttermilk and place the chicken breasts in it. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Take the chicken breasts out of the buttermilk, allowing any extra liquid to drip off. Dip each chicken breast completely in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Carefully place the chicken breasts in the hot oil and fry for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken breasts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Toast the hamburger buns until lightly golden.
- Spread mayonnaise on both halves of the buns.
- Layer lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles (if desired) on the bottom bun.
- Place the fried chicken breast on top of the toppings, and cover with the top bun.
- Repeat the process to assemble the second sandwich.
- Serve the Zaxby's chicken sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
