Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 4 sesame seed buns
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken gravy (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Gravy

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This tenderizes the meat and adds flavor.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
  3. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each breast in the flour mixture, then dip back into the buttermilk, and finally coat in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts and fry for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  5. While the chicken is frying, warm the chicken gravy in a small saucepan over low heat.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. To assemble the sandwiches, place a piece of crispy chicken on the bottom half of each sesame seed bun. Top with shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a generous drizzle of warm gravy.
  8. Cap with the top half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy coating.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet; fry in batches if necessary to maintain even cooking.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after frying to keep it juicy.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the gravy for a spicy mayonnaise for a kick.
  • Add pickles or jalapeños for an extra crunch and flavor.
  • Use whole wheat buns for a healthier option.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy French fries for a classic pairing.
  • Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch.
  • A side salad for a lighter option.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to regain its crispiness.
