Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 3 soft sandwich buns
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Optional toppings: pickles, lettuce, or tomato

How to Make Triple Crispy Chicken Sandwich

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results) to tenderize and add flavor.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another dish, place the panko 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 with panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
  4. In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken in the oil, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  5. While the chicken is frying, prepare the cheese drizzle. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shredded cheese and milk, stirring until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and let it drain on paper towels.
  7. To assemble your sandwiches, place one fried chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun, drizzle generously with the cheese sauce, and repeat with two more layers of chicken and sauce. Top with your favorite toppings if desired, then place the top bun on.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra crunch, let the breaded chicken sit for 10-15 minutes before frying.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure your oil is at the right temperature for frying (about 350°F).
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for the drizzle, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick.

Easy Variations

  • Switch up the protein: Try using turkey or even cauliflower for a vegetarian option.
  • Add a spicy twist by mixing hot sauce into the buttermilk marinade.
  • Top with avocado slices or a spicy aioli for added flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy sweet potato fries
  • Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
  • A side of pickles or jalapeños for extra zing
  • Onion rings for a classic diner experience

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to maintain the crispiness.
