Marinate the chicken in a mixture of buttermilk and hot sauce for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results. </li>
<li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4> In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each buttermilk-soaked chicken breast in the flour mixture until well coated. Tap off any excess flour. </li>
<li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4> Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. You’ll want enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chicken. Once hot, carefully add the chicken. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack to drain any excess oil. </li>
<li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4> While the chicken cooks, prepare your buns. Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Then, add lettuce and tomato slices as desired. If you like, add a few slices of pickle for an extra layer of flavor. </li>
<li class="MethodStepper"> <h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4> Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing if you prefer or leave it whole. Place the chicken on the prepared buns, top with the other half of the bun, and serve hot. Enjoy your homemade spicy chicken sandwich with a side of fries or a salad for a complete meal. </li>
