Get ready for the ultimate comfort food—this crispy fried chicken sandwich with creamy sauce and melted cheese will hit the spot every time!

Ingredients:

4 boneless chicken thighs (or breasts)

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup breadcrumbs

Vegetable oil for frying

4 sesame buns

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon mustard

Pickles

Lettuce

Instructions:

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Prepare the breading: In a shallow bowl, mix the flour and breadcrumbs. Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in the flour and breadcrumb mixture, making sure it's fully coated.

Fry the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Drain on a paper towel.

Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and mustard to create a creamy sauce. You can also add a little lemon juice or garlic for extra flavor.

Assemble the sandwich: Toast the sesame buns lightly. Spread the sauce on the bottom bun, then layer with lettuce, fried chicken, melted cheddar cheese, and pickles.

Serve and enjoy: Top with the other half of the bun and serve with a side of fries for the perfect meal!
