Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken by tenderizing and flattening it. Combine buttermilk, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Prepare the dredge by whisking together flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a shallow dish.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet to 350°F. Prepare a wire rack lined with paper towels.
  4. Coat the marinated chicken in the dredge, ensuring a solid coating. For extra crispiness, double-dredge.
  5. Fry the chicken in batches for 4-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Make the creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  7. Assemble the sandwich by toasting buns, spreading sauce, and layering chicken, pickles, lettuce, and tomato.
  8. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side and enjoy!
