How to make a similar version
1
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season and, for extra tenderness, soak 30 minutes in buttermilk or a light pickle brine.
2
Dredge in seasoned flour, pressing firmly so craggy bits adhere.
3
Fry in 350°F oil until crisp and the center reaches 165°F, or air-fry according to your appliance instructions.
4
Toast the bun and prepare the pickles, lettuce, tomato, cheese and sauces.
5
Assemble while the chicken is hot so cheese softens and the bun stays tender.
Closer-match tip
A short pickle-brine or buttermilk soak plus a double dip in flour creates a noticeably more fast-food-style crust.
