Prepare the Chicken

1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. 2. In a bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Place chicken in the mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).

Bread the Chicken

1. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. 2. Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Transfer to a rack and let stand for 10 minutes.

Fry the Chicken

1. Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). 2. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). 3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Assemble the Sandwich

1. Toast the buns in a small amount of butter until golden. 2. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun. 3. Place lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles on the bun. 4. Add the fried chicken breast, and top with the other half of the bun. Serve hot.
