Whole grain buns add fiber and nutrients.

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken drumsticks

Chicken thighs are juicier and often less expensive.

flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Almond flour is gluten-free, while cornstarch is cheaper for breading.

Prepare the seasoning mixture by combining smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, pepper, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour and baking powder.

Whisk together 1 cup of milk and 2 eggs in another bowl to create the wet mixture.

Add the chicken breasts to the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Heat about 2 cups of oil in a deep pan until hot enough for frying.

Coat the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing down to ensure they are fully coated.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the oil to fry.

Fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.

In the same pan, add a little butter and toast the brioche buns until lightly browned.

Assemble the sandwich by placing the fried chicken on the toasted bun, adding American cheese, lettuce, pickles, and Chick-fil-A sauce.
