Instructions

Flatten the chicken breasts slightly and marinate in buttermilk, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for at least 2 hours or overnight.
In a bowl, mix flour, cornflour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
Coat marinated chicken in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Lightly toast burger buns.
Spread mayonnaise (mixed with hot sauce if using) on buns.
Place fried chicken on bottom bun, top with shredded lettuce, and cover with top bun.
Serve hot with fries or a drink.

Notes

For extra crunch, double coat the chicken by dipping it back into buttermilk and then flour again.
Adjust spice levels by increasing or decreasing cayenne pepper.
You can add cheese or pickles for variation.
