– 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
Creating the ultimate Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich involves a few simple steps. Here’s how to make it perfectly:
1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Breading: In a separate bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken: Remove each chicken breast from the buttermilk, shaking off excess liquid. Dredge in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the flour-coated chicken breasts in the hot oil. Fry for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Drain the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Toast the Rolls: In the same skillet, lightly toast the sandwich rolls for added crunch.
8. Assemble the Sandwich: On each roll, place a piece of crispy chicken, a generous amount of chopped romaine lettuce, and top with Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese.
9. Serve Immediately: Close the sandwich and serve while hot for the best experience.
With these steps, you’ll create an incredible Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich that’s mouthwatering and satisfying!
