Ingredients

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 3 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

How to Make Triple Crispy Chicken Sandwich

1. Start by marinating the chicken. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
2. Prepare the breading station. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, the second with panko breadcrumbs, and the third with the remaining buttermilk mixture.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4. Remove one chicken breast from the marinade, letting excess buttermilk drip off. Dredge it in flour, then dip it into the buttermilk again, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Set aside and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
5. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. During the last minute of frying, place two slices of cheddar cheese on each chicken patty to melt.
7. To assemble the sandwiches, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each sesame seed bun. Layer with shredded lettuce and then stack three crispy chicken patties on top. Finish with the top half of the bun.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Triple Crispy Chicken Sandwich!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crunch, let the breaded chicken rest for 10 minutes before frying.
• Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
• Experiment with different types of cheese, like pepper jack for a kick or Swiss for a milder taste.

Easy Variations

• Add sliced pickles or jalapeños for a tangy twist.
• Swap out the lettuce for spinach or coleslaw for added crunch.
• Try a spicy mayo by mixing sriracha into the mayonnaise.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries.
• A fresh side salad with vinaigrette.
• Coleslaw for a tangy, crunchy side.
