DIY Popeyes Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich

Mother approved!

Picky kids loved it

Sooo amazing sub hot sauce for Siracha used smoked paprika and minced garlic for the mayo. Make tons because me and hubby fought over the last piece of chicken for breakfast 😂😂😍

Some said it wasn't salty enough. I used the air fryer. Needed oil to be sprayed or brushed on in order to brown. It was healthier in the air fryer and moist but I would opt to air fry partially and finish with a bit of oil in the fry pan on stove to get the crunch.

I wouldn't compare it to the Popeyes I go to, but it's a really good chicken sandwich recipe, and I'd definitely make it again.

I didnt like the sauce at all it tastes also very dry

Removed the sauce, and replaced the Brioche Buns for Hambugers Buns, but went all in the spices. Family liked the recipe altogether. Would recommend!

So good 👍

Made gluten and dairy free by substituting 3/4 cup all purpose gluten free flour and 1/2 cup tapioca flour. Make buttermilk by adding 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to 1 cup almond milk; let it sit for about 15-20 minutes before adding spices.

Instructions To Marinate Chicken Pound chicken breasts in between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise to make 2 small pieces of chicken about the same size as the bun (see video below). In a large bowl, buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, salt & black pepper. Add the chicken to the mix and place in the fridge to marinate up to 24 hours or use right away. To Cook Chicken Heat oil in a large heavy-duty skillet or pot on medium temperature or until the temperature reaches 350F. In a medium shallow bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, and spices. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of the buttermilk batter into the flour mixture and mix it through with a fork. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge chicken the flour mixture and press flour on the top chicken to form a thick crust. Transfer chicken to hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes per side or until the outside is crispy and golden and the internal temperature reaches 165F. To Assemble Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan and toast buns face down until golden and crisp. Whisk all the ingredients for the mayo in a small bowl and spread a generous layer of mayo on each bun. Top with pickles and chicken. Enjoy hot!

INSANE! Really curbed the craving. Could cut down the flour mix by probably half Spicy Mayo - halfed except the garlic powder amount, used paprika with a couple dashes of our hot cayenne, a couple squirts of sriracha

I made this on a late night and it turned out amazing! I loved it.

Welp, I'm certain there are instuctions somewhere. However, I've seen less pop ups and intrusive ads on old skool websites. I'm possible to follow on mobile.

Was expecting more out of this recipe. I made this as my hubby LOVES Popeyes and so I was hoping to bring the taste of Popeyes home. I had to make the chicken breast in the oven as I didn't have oil to fry the chicken breast and unfortunately the breading stuck to the aluminum foil which made it more of a grilled chicken breast sandwich. The sauce was also nothing too great. Hubby said it was way too spicy and he can usually handle a bit of spice.

This was sooooo good! Easy to make. It was my first time frying chicken. I recommend doing the full 24hr marinate. It tastes the better that way.

Easy to make- used 3/4th cup sour cream and 1/4 cup milk to sub for the buttermilk. Turned out great. Still not a master at keeping batter on the chicken.

It was delicious and crunchy. To be honest the sauce tasted more like mustard than mayo but overall it was good

Amazing definitely making them again kids loved them and myself

Absolutely gorgeous! Made this over a week ago and I’m still think about it! Great crispy chicken burger

I’ve never had Popeyes so I don’t know how this compares. But otherwise it was really good and chicken was tender

First time I made it, it didn't have enough taste for me...was bland. Gave it another try and this time swapped out the cayenne pepper for Cajun seasoning and that set it all the way off *chef kiss*

Very good! In the recipe it says you cans or fry it so we tried that. I’d suggest sticking with regular frying as it’s hard to get enough oil on them so that there aren’t flour spots. There’s really no food way to brush on oil because the uncooked breading will come off. I will definitely make this again but will fry it normally.

Too salty, but otherwise excellent

I made it in the airfryer and it was A M A Z I NG.

It was good , I added lettuce,cheese, and tomato’s. I would make again. I also added my own seasons.

Really tasty, too much flour in pre frying mix

Very good, 4 minutes was just the right amount on each side.

Seriously fantastic!! Will be making again!

Boyfriend got the wrong size buns from the store so I ended up making sliders but I LOVE this recipe so much I’m making it again tonight!!

Made it twice now. Definitely recommend using a mallet to thin the breasts a little and soaking in buttermilk for super moist and tender chicken.

Super easy, absolutely delicious! Husband prefers this over takeout now!

Follow the directions, Do not substitute, Amazballs!! 👍👍

My entire family absolutely loved this recipe.

If your chicken is to big then you should probably cut it in half

Came out delicious will definitely be making it again thank you for sharing the recipe 😋

This was easy to make. Except next time I’ll be sure to prep more ahead of dinner time. I don’t recommend using Tabasco hot sauce though, it made my aoli taste salty and slightly like vinegar. So I remade using garlic, onion, paprika and cayenne instead. Other than that and finding a different brand of brioche (Nature’s Own is too sweet) it’s perfect!

I'm not a meat fan but this recipe makes me wanna eat it. Its not deathly hot but there's definitely some heat.

Allergic to buttermilk.

Have made it several times in the past. My husband loves it. We even use the leftover buttermilk and breading to make fried pickle chips to go with the sandwiches. Great dupe for any fast food chicken sandwich.
