Even better: This chicken only needs about 10 minutes in the oven to cook. How much easier is that than making traditional fried chicken at home? No need to worry about heating up all that oil and figuring out how to dispose of it later.

The combinations you can do with fried chicken and biscuits are endless. I invite you to take this recipe and truly make it your own! Buttermilk Kitchen offers Hot Chicken and Chicken Biscuit and Gravy as alternate options: both incredibly delicious.
These are the classic toppings for a fried chicken sandwich. If you want to cut down on prep, you can also skip all of the toppings and use a crunchy Coleslaw which incorporates the sauce and veggies into one tasty sandwich topping.
These Chicken Sandwiches are crispy on the outside with a juicy center. We're sharing all of our best tips for making flavorful fried chicken breast with a thick and shaggy crust that crunches when you bite into it.
Homemade Chicken and Waffles is a true soul food brunch dish that everyone loves. My recipe includes juicy Southern fried chicken and fluffy waffles with an amazing sweet and spicy sauce made with maple syrup or honey.
Small restaurants in Chicago and California in the 1910s would serve fried chicken and waffles claiming they were authentic Southern dinners though there is no evidence that the South ate chicken and waffles together for dinner. Historians place the origins of the dish from Black people who migrated from the South to the northern states after the Civil War.
To make the best southern chicken and waffles you need three elements: perfectly juicy, crispy fried chicken, thick and fluffy waffles, and a delicious sweet and spicy sauce. I love making a spicy honey butter sauce but just swap the honey for maple syrup and you have a spicy maple syrup perfect for drizzling.
I'm well known for my authentic buttermilk-brined southern fried chicken. It's a tried and true recipe loved by many and incredibly beginner-friendly. Between that and my explosively popular Crispy Chicken Sandwich recipe, I would have to call myself an expert.
I've tested it over and over again. Brining works. It imparts flavor inside the chicken and makes the meat incredibly juicy. You can either do the classic southern buttermilk brine or you can use one of my favorite tricks whenever you do not have buttermilk, which is to sour milk with the juice of a lemon or use pickle juice to brine.
We all want that shatteringly crisp crust with beautiful craggy nooks and crannies on our fried chicken. I honestly love my double dredging technique for a thick, cronchy crust but with our southern style chicken and waffles, I wanted to make sure that the crust was thin enough to break through easily with a fork and knife without breaking apart as a thicker crust does.
Baking powder is a leavener, meaning that in baked goods like cakes it helps puff up and lift it since we aren't using yeast to do the job. Same thing in the crust of fried chicken. It creates tons of tiny bubbles in the crust when the chicken hits your hot oil, making the surface of the crust expand and help it be lighter and crispier.
I'm so happy you love this recipe! Thank you for trying it out. You can make fried chicken ahead of time, here's an article from Country Living on how to store and reheat it. Have fun at the baby shower!
Tripled the chicken recipe on vacation with extended family -- maybe the best fried chicken I've had anywhere, and I've never made fried chicken in my life. Used a different waffle recipe, since I had lots of leftover buttermilk, and prepared an original peach ginger reduction to drizzle over the top. A few dashed of hot sauce and good to go. This is definitely one I'll go to again. Thanks!
Just wanted to let you know my son and I made your southern fried chicken and Belgian waffles last night. They were excellent! Our whole family loved both. It was the 1st time I ever made fried chicken and using your recipe was a breeze! Thank you for sharing.
This is easily the best fried chicken I have ever made. I also made your Belgian waffle mix & spicy sauce. I thought I died and went to heaven! I will be sharing this recipe with everyone I know! Thank you so much.
Even though we like a really good fried chicken sandwich, I am not one to make it at home. I am never totally successful at the dredging in flour, dipping in beaten eggs, and then covering in a coating, whether it be regular bread crumbs, panko, or, as in this case, cornflake crumbs. For some reason, I kept reading these directions and got myself to stay on task, follow what they instructed, and I was rewarded with a perfect coating of cornflake crumbs that did not fall off of the chicken. In addition, the coating was golden brown. It was not burnt, and it was not greasy. A win/win/win.
The Southern Fried chicken (Traditional) is so freakin gooood! I love it and had turnip greens, spinach, mustard greens mixed. Cooked the greens with smoked cajun seasoned turkey meat. Made a bowl of tater salad. Family and I had a delicous dinner, Next time the fried chicken will be a breakfast treat with cheese grits , scrambled eggs and buttermilk biscuits with some maple syrup. Thanks for the recipe
I have been making fried chicken for years, and obliviously the wrong way! The chicken came out perfect, like I bought it out of a restaurant. Who would know the key is using peanut oil for frying because of the high boiling point? Who knew? I will always cook it this way . The seasonings were great too!
Now that looks like the type of fried chicken sandwich I could sink my teeth into. And buttermilk fried chicken is the way to go! Love the brioche bun with it as they are always so soft and sweet. Great combo and I would def add the coleslaw.

This is definitely the crispiest chicken sandwich you're ever going to make without deep-frying! By using the air fryer, we're lightening up the typical fried chicken sandwich without sacrificing any of the flavor (or crunch).
For the fried chicken sandwich:2 chicken breasts1/2 c dill pickle juice2 eggs1/2 c panko1/2 c bread crumbs2 Tbsp powdered sugar1 tsp paprika1 tsp sea salt1/4 tsp celery seeds (whole or ground)1/2 tsp garlic powderSpray oilButter for buns2 brioche bunsDill pickle chipsMayonnaise, ketchup, or condiments of your choice
3. To make the fried chicken sandwiches, trim off any fat from the chicken breasts. If the chicken breasts are massive, you may want to slice them in half horizontally or pound them flat. Place the chicken in a zip top bag or a dish, and cover it with the pickle juice. Let this marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
To start, we have ultra-crispy slabs of tofu coated with all the spices of classic fried chicken. Next, a Sriracha-spiked mayo to help anchor the tofu to the toasted buns. And to finish, a supremely simple slaw to add crunch and brightness to the sandwich. In short, they're a truly transcendent plant-based delight that you absolutely must try.
For these sandwiches, the tofu gets the exact same treatment as fried chicken, which gives it its crave-worthy appeal. However, instead of using a buttermilk, the tofu is marinated in a mix of alt milk (soy, cashew, rice, etc.) and soy sauce to infuse it with savory goodness. After a quick marinade, the tofu is dunked into a mix of flour, corn starch, and spices. You could also arrowroot starch if you're sensitive to corn products, however I've found the corn starch helps achieve the crispiest crust. The tofu gets a double-dredge to ensure the crispiest coating.
I'm from the south and we all know that Fried Chicken is a staple here. Something that you are born to love and born to eat!
