Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 pieces sandwich buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup ranch dressing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep chicken warm after frying.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika on both sides.

Step 3

Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip into the egg, ensuring it's completely coated, and finally press into the breadcrumbs to coat all sides.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, combine the hot sauce and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the butter has melted and is fully incorporated into the hot sauce.

Step 7

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest on a wire rack. Brush the hot sauce mixture generously over both sides of each chicken breast.

Step 8

Keep the coated chicken warm in the preheated oven while preparing the buns.

Step 9

To assemble the sandwiches, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Place a buffalo chicken breast on top of the lettuce.

Step 10

Drizzle ranch dressing over the chicken, then top with the remaining bun halves.

Step 11

Serve the buffalo chicken sandwiches immediately for the best texture and flavor.
