Ingredients

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds total)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 sesame seed sandwich buns
• 3 tablespoons honey
• Vegetable oil, for frying

How to Make Triple Crispy Chicken Sandwich

1. Start by marinating the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk with the chicken breasts. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
2. Prepare your breading station: Set up three shallow dishes. In the first, place the flour mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. In the second, pour the buttermilk (reserve a little for later use). In the third, add the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). You’ll need enough oil to submerge the chicken patties.
4. Remove chicken from the buttermilk and let excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip in buttermilk again, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick well.
5. Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
6. While the chicken is still hot, place two slices of cheddar cheese on each piece of chicken and let them melt slightly.
7. Toast the sesame seed buns in the same skillet until golden brown.
8. Assemble the sandwiches: On the bottom half of each bun, stack one crispy chicken patty, followed by another, and then the third. Drizzle honey over the top, and cover with the top bun.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious layers of flavor!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure a crispy coating.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken for doneness.
• Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after frying to enhance juiciness.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheddar for pepper jack cheese for an extra kick.
• Add lettuce, tomato, and pickles for a fresh crunch.
• Try different sauces like spicy mayo or barbecue for a twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy fries or sweet potato fries
• A fresh coleslaw for a crunchy side
• Onion rings for an extra indulgent pairing
• A light salad to balance out the meal
