Ingredients

• 3 sesame seed burger buns
• 2 large chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup honey
• Optional: lettuce, tomatoes, pickles for topping

How to Make Triple Layer Fried 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 shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
4. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. While the chicken is still hot, place two slices of cheddar cheese on each piece to melt.
6. Toast the sesame seed burger buns in the same skillet until golden.
7. Assemble the sandwich by placing one bun on a plate, topping it with a piece of fried chicken with melted cheese, followed by a second bun, another chicken piece, and more cheese. Finish with the third bun.
8. Drizzle honey over the top layer and add any optional toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles.
9. Serve immediately, and enjoy every bite!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to get that perfect crispy crust.
• Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked through.
• Customize the spices in the flour mixture to suit your taste.
• If you prefer, bake the chicken at 400°F for 25-30 minutes for a healthier alternative.

Easy Variations

• Swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
• Add avocado slices for creaminess.
• Use a different sauce, like BBQ or sriracha mayo, for a flavor twist.
• Try different types of bread, such as brioche or ciabatta.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy french fries or sweet potato fries for a classic pairing.
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch.
• A simple green salad for a lighter option.
• Pickle spears for a tangy contrast.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the sandwich in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain the crispiness of the chicken.
