What is a Crispy Chicken Sandwich?
My homemade chicken sandwich (which is sometimes referred as a “fried chicken sandwich”) consists of a generous piece of chicken breast, battered and fried to perfection. The cooked chicken is then sandwiched between two hamburger buns. You can add your own sandwich toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, etc.

What Makes These Sandwiches So Special?
Trust me when I say, once you take a big bite out of this buttermilk chicken sandwich, you’ll be wanting more! The secret to this recipe is marinated chicken! Each chicken breast sits in buttermilk for twenty minutes. Because buttermilk is high in acidity, it helps further tenderize the chicken and prevents it from becoming too tough and chewy.
It’s Important To Use A Meat Mallet
The first step in making this Crispy Chicken Sandwich recipe is to flatten the chicken with a meat mallet. Remember when we talked about tenderizing the meat with the help of buttermilk? Well, flattening the chicken is also an important step. By flattening the meat and then letting it sit in the buttercream, you get an ultra-tender piece of chicken breast… and each bite is mouthwatering!
