Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 3 soft hamburger buns
• ½ cup sweet chili sauce
• ¼ cup mayonnaise (optional)
• Leafy greens (like lettuce or spinach, optional)

How to Make Triple Layer Fried Chicken Sandwich

1. Start by marinating the chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This step ensures juicy, flavorful chicken.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each marinated chicken tender into the egg, then dredge in the seasoned flour, ensuring a thorough coating.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. To assemble the sandwich, take one bun and add one layer of fried chicken, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and top with another bun. Repeat with another layer of chicken and sauce, finishing with the final bun.
7. If desired, spread mayonnaise on the top bun and add leafy greens for extra crunch.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the layers of flavor!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in buttermilk and flour before frying.
• Allow the oil to come back to temperature between batches to ensure crispy chicken.
• Experiment with different sauces, like BBQ or honey mustard, to switch up the flavor profile.

Easy Variations

• Spice it up: Add cayenne pepper to the flour mix for a spicy kick.
• Make it a meal: Serve with pickles and coleslaw for a classic Southern vibe.
• Go vegetarian: Substitute chicken with thick slices of eggplant or cauliflower, following the same breading and frying method.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• A side of coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• Onion rings for an extra indulgent side
