Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast thin sliced or pounded thin
  • 1 ea egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup Frank's hot sauce
  • 1 pkg slider buns
  • 2 cups chopped or shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 4 Tbsp ranch dressing
  • 1 cup vegetable or canola oil

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken thin if it's not already thin sliced.  Cut the chicken into pieces the size of the slider buns.  I got 3-4 pieces out of the thin sliced chicken.  If you pounded regular breasts of chicken out thin, you will probably get 5-6 pieces out of each one.  

  2. Whisk the milk and egg together in a small to medium dish or bowl.  

  3. Place the flour in a large Ziploc bag.

  4. Pour the oil in a medium pan and heat on medium to high heat.

  5. Coat each chicken piece (one at a time) in the egg mixture and then place in the bag of flour.  Once covered in flour, place on a paper towel or plate and continue the process with the remaining pieces.

  6. Combine the butter and hot sauce in a small saucepan and cook over medium to low heat.

  7. Place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil a few at a time, not overcrowding the pan.  Cook until golden brown on each side and cooked all the way through.  About 3 minutes per side.

  8. Remove from the oil and set on a paper towel to absorb any extra grease.  

  9. While the chicken is cooking, you can start assembling the sandwiches with the lettuce and ranch dressing.  Open the buns and spread a 1/2 Tbsp ranch inside the top bun.  Sprinkle some shredded or chopped lettuce on the ranch.

  10. Drizzle the buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken pieces or you can put the buffalo sauce in a small bowl and toss the pieces in the sauce.  Place one piece of chicken on each bun.
