Country Fried Chicken Sandwich

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

   In a separate shallow dish, add the all-purpose flour.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   Remove the chicken thighs from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and dredge them in the flour, ensuring they are fully coated.

6. 6

   Carefully place the coated chicken thighs in the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

8. 8

   Toast the whole wheat sandwich buns in a toaster or on a skillet until lightly browned.

9. 9

   Assemble the sandwiches by placing a fried chicken thigh on the bottom half of each bun, then topping with the other half of the bun.
