Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely mind-blowing dinner recipe that’s gonna have your family thinking you spent hours in the kitchen (when really, it only takes 30 minutes tops!). I’m talking about my Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Sandwiches that’ll make you forget all about those drive-thru cravings!
Let me spill the tea on what you’ll need:
– 4 chicken breasts
– 2 cups buttermilk
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– Your favorite seasonings (I’m obsessed with paprika, garlic powder, and a little cayenne for kick)
– Brioche buns (because we’re fancy like that!)
– Honey garlic sauce (I’ll show you how to make it from scratch!)
Okay, here’s the deal – first, you’re gonna marinate those chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least an hour (overnight if you’re a planning queen). This makes the meat super tender and juicy, trust me on this one!
While you’re waiting, mix up that honey garlic sauce. Combine 1/4 cup honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and a splash of rice vinegar in a small pan. Let it simmer until it gets all thick and glossy – it’s literally heaven in a pan!
(BTW, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more drool-worthy recipes that’ll have your family begging for seconds!)
Now for the fun part – coating and frying! Mix your flour with all those yummy seasonings. Dip each chicken piece in the flour mixture, then back in the buttermilk, then in the flour again. This double-dipping technique? Total game-changer!
Heat your oil to 350°F (I use a thermometer because I’m not about to mess this up). Fry those babies until they’re golden brown and crispy – about 5-6 minutes each side. Once they’re done, brush them generously with that honey garlic sauce we made earlier.
Toast those brioche buns, add some lettuce and mayo (or whatever floats your boat), and boom – you’ve got yourself a restaurant-quality sandwich that’ll have everyone thinking you’re a culinary genius!
The best part? These sandwiches are totally customizable! Want to add cheese? Go for it! Prefer extra sauce? Girl, drench it! This is your sandwich, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
