Ingredients

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
• 6 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup milk
• 3 sesame seed burger buns
• Lettuce, tomato, and pickles for garnish (optional)

How to Make Triple Layer Crispy Chicken Sandwich

1. Start by marinating the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible. This will tenderize the meat and add flavor.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of flour into it; if it sizzles, you’re good to go.
4. Remove each chicken breast from the buttermilk, allowing excess liquid to drip off, then dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.
5. Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil and fry for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. While the chicken is frying, prepare the cheddar sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and milk. Stir until melted and smooth, then remove from heat.
7. To assemble, place one fried chicken breast on the bottom half of a sesame seed bun. Add a slice of cheddar cheese, then stack another fried chicken breast on top. Repeat with another slice of cheese and the third chicken breast.
8. Drizzle the cheddar sauce generously over the top layer of chicken and finish with the top half of the bun. Serve hot.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying to achieve that perfect crispy texture.
• Let the fried chicken rest on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• Feel free to customize your sandwich with your favorite toppings like avocado, spicy mayo, or jalapeños for an extra kick.

Easy Variations

• Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy twist.
• Use grilled chicken breasts for a lighter version.
• Add crispy bacon between the layers for an extra indulgent touch.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• Onion rings for extra crunchiness
• A side of pickles to add a tangy bite
