Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 4 burger buns
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Gravy

  1. Start by marinating the chicken. Place the chicken breasts in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for extra tenderness.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup of flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, pressing down to ensure an even coating.
  5. Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. While the chicken is resting, prepare the gravy. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux.
  7. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  8. To assemble, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a crispy chicken breast on top, drizzle with creamy gravy, and cover with the top bun.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in buttermilk and flour.
  • Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature; it should be around 350°F for frying.
  • Let the fried chicken rest for a few minutes to maintain its juiciness.

Easy Variations

  • Add pickles or coleslaw for a tangy crunch.
  • Swap the mayonnaise for your favorite spicy sauce for a kick.
  • Try using whole wheat buns for a healthier option.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy french fries or sweet potato fries.
  • A side salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
  • Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover chicken and gravy separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, and reheat the gravy gently in a saucepan.
