Description

This bold and crave-worthy buffalo chicken sandwich takes everything you love about classic comfort food and turns it up a notch. Juicy chicken breasts are soaked until tender, coated in a seasoned crust, and fried until deeply crispy. Each piece gets tossed in tangy buffalo sauce, then layered onto warm toasted buns and finished with a creamy ranch slaw that cools things down just enough. The contrast of spicy, crunchy, and creamy makes every bite totally addictive and perfect for casual dinners or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Fried Buffalo Chicken

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • Neutral oil (vegetable or canola) for frying

For the Creamy Ranch Slaw

  • 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Assembly

  • 4 sandwich or hamburger buns
  • Lettuce leaves (optional)
  • Tomato slices (optional)
  • Extra buffalo sauce, if desired

Instructions

  1. Tenderize the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Turn to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for maximum juiciness.
  2. Mix the seasoned coating: In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  3. Bread the chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Press each piece firmly into the seasoned flour, making sure all sides are fully coated.
  4. Heat the oil: Pour oil into a deep skillet or heavy pan and heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  5. Fry until crispy: Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil. Cook for about 5–7 minutes per side, turning once, until the crust is golden and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  6. Prepare the slaw; In a large bowl, toss the shredded cabbage and carrots together. In a small bowl, whisk the ranch dressing with apple cider vinegar, then pour over the vegetables. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Sauce the chicken: Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel–lined plate. While still warm, spoon or brush buffalo sauce over each piece, coating evenly.
  8. Toast the buns: Lightly toast the buns in a skillet or oven until just golden for added texture.
  9. Build the sandwiches: Place a buffalo-coated chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a generous scoop of ranch slaw, plus lettuce, tomato, or extra sauce if you like.
  10. Finish and enjoy: Cap with the top bun and serve immediately while the chicken is hot and crispy.
