Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Dredge the marinated chicken in the flour mixture and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  5. Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet.
  6. Assemble the sandwiches by placing fried chicken on the bun, topping with shredded lettuce, ranch dressing, and green onions.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness
  • double‑coat the chicken by dipping it back into the buttermilk and flour mixture a second time. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F. If you prefer less heat
  • reduce the cayenne pepper or add a dash of honey to the ranch dressing.
