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.

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

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

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
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.

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).

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.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
