Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 2 sesame seed buns
• 1 cup cooked noodles (like ramen or egg noodles)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and blanched
• Sriracha sauce (optional, for serving)

How to Make Crispy Chicken Noodle Sandwich

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Prepare the Noodles: In a bowl, toss the cooked noodles with soy sauce, fresh basil, and blanched green beans until evenly coated.
7. Assemble the Sandwich: Slice the sesame seed buns in half. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half, followed by a generous serving of the noodle mixture. Top with the other half of the bun.
8. Serve: Drizzle with Sriracha sauce if desired, and enjoy your crispy chicken noodle sandwich!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy coating.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry chicken in batches if necessary.
• Let the chicken rest after frying for even juicier results.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the chicken for crispy tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Use different types of noodles, such as soba or udon, for a unique flavor.
• Add crunch with sliced cucumbers or pickled vegetables.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries
• A refreshing Asian-style coleslaw
• A side of miso soup
• Fresh fruit salad
