Ingredients

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 3 sesame seed burger buns
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup honey

How to Make Triple Layer Fried Chicken Sandwich

1. Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. This will be your dredging mixture.
3. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a pinch of flour sizzles when dropped in.
4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
5. Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. In the last minute of frying, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each chicken breast to melt slightly.
7. While the chicken is frying, toast the sesame seed buns in a separate pan until golden brown.
8. To assemble, spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, then layer with one piece of fried chicken, followed by another bun. Repeat the process with the second layer of chicken and another slice of cheese, finishing with the top bun.
9. Drizzle honey over the top layer of the sandwich before serving. Enjoy your indulgent creation!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken by dredging in flour, dipping back into buttermilk, and dredging again before frying.
• Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature, ensuring even cooking and a crispy crust.
• Let the fried chicken rest for a few minutes before assembling to avoid soggy buns.

Easy Variations

• Swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese for an extra kick.
• Add avocado slices or pickles for a fresh twist.
• Use different sauces, such as BBQ or sriracha mayo, for added flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• A simple green salad with vinaigrette
• Pickles for a tangy contrast

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers. The fried chicken can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to retain crispiness.
