Ingredients

• 4 chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
• oil, for frying

Marinade

• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Breading 

• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Creamy Honey Mustard Sauce

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise

Here's how to make it:

1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a plastic zipper bag. Add the chicken and marinate at least 1 hour to overnight.
2. Make the creamy sandwich sauce by combining all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use. 
3. When ready to cook, put all the breading ingredients into a bowl. Mix well.
4. Heat about an inch of oil in a large skillet. Remove the chicken from the marinade, dip it into the breading and then put it into the hot oil. (You can dip the chicken twice if you want more breading.)
5. Cook the chicken in the hot oil (about 325 degrees F) about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and crispy. Drain on a paper towel.
6. To serving, spread some of the sauce on the bottom bun. Top with lettuce, pickles, chicken breast, more sauce and top bun.
