Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds Chicken Breast cut into strips (about 3 chicken breasts)
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt plus a little for seasoning the chicken
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder plus a little for seasoning the chicken
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper plus a little for seasoning the chicken
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ cup Milk
  • Canola Oil for frying
  • 8 tablespoons Butter melted
  • 4 tablespoons Crystal Hot Sauce or use your favorite
  • 4 Sandwich Buns
  • 4 tablespoons Blue Cheese Dressing
  • 8-12 Pickle Slices
  • 4-8 Lettuce Leaves
  • 1-2 Tomato 4-8 slices

Instructions

  • Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise. Then, cut the larger pieces in half.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Mix the flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder and black pepper, in a shallow pan or plate. Stir well to combine. Pour the milk in a medium bowl.
  • Lightly coat each chicken piece with the flour. Shake off excess and then dip the chicken into the milk bowl, make sure the entire piece is moist.
  • Next, place the chicken back in the flour, make sure it’s completely coated, shake off excess. Set on a pan or plate and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. 
  • Discard any leftover flour and milk.
  • Pour enough oil in a large, heavy skillet to cover the entire bottom by about a ¼ inch.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add about half of the chicken pieces to the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and place them on a plate or pan. Fry the remaining pieces.
  • Make the Buffalo sauce. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan. Add the hot sauce to the butter and stir well until combined.
  • Place the buffalo sauce in a large bowl. Add the cooked chicken (while it’s still hot) to the sauce. Cover the bowl with the lid (or plate) and give it a few gentle shakes.
  • Place one or two chicken pieces on a bun and top with blue cheese dressing, lettuce tomatoes and pickles.
