Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 burger buns
Leafy lettuce (romaine or spinach)
Tomato slices
Pickles (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce, mixing until well combined. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 40 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard if using. Adjust the salt to your taste preference. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in this mixture.
In a large skillet, heat enough oil for frying over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken breasts for approximately 5-6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
On each burger bun, spread a generous amount of garlic aioli. Layer with a piece of fried chicken, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles if you wish. Top with the other half of the bun.
