Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches on Buns
  1. 1

    Slice each chicken breast horizontally into 2 thin fillets. Place 6 fillets in a resealable zip-top bag with buttermilk, 1 tablespoon Buffalo sauce, and garlic powder. Seal the bag and shake to mix and evenly coat the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. 3

    In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine flour, poultry seasoning, and pepper, then blend with a fork or whisk.

  4. 4

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Dip the chicken in the breading mixture, coating both sides well and evenly. Discard the remaining marinade.

  5. 5

    Pour enough oil into a large skillet to thickly coat the bottom and heat over medium-high until sizzling but not smoking. Place 2 chicken fillets in the skillet so they fit comfortably; do not overcrowd. Fry until crispy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and repeat twice, adding more oil as needed, to fry the remaining chicken. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  7. 7

    Remove the chicken from the oven. Place a chicken fillet on the bottom half of a bun. Add Buffalo sauce to taste. Top with pickle slices, tomato, and lettuce. Spread ranch dressing on the inside of the top bun and set it over the sandwich. Repeat to make the remaining sandwiches.
