Buffalo Chicken Pickle Sandwich

This looks like a Buffalo Chicken Pickle Sandwich (low-carb / keto style) — crispy, spicy chicken hugged by dill pickles instead of bread 😍

Here’s how to make it at home:

Buffalo Chicken Pickle Sandwich (No Bread)

Ingredients

  • 1 large chicken tender or chicken breast (cut into sandwich-size)
  • 2 large dill pickles (whole, sliced lengthwise)
  • ½ cup flour (or almond flour for keto)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (or crushed pork rinds for keto)
  • Salt & black pepper
  • Paprika or garlic powder (optional)

For the Buffalo Sauce

  • ¼ cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot works great)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Pinch of garlic powder (optional)

For Frying

  • Oil (vegetable or avocado oil)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Pickles
    Slice the dill pickles lengthwise and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Bread the Chicken
    • Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
    • Dip chicken into flour → egg → breadcrumbs, pressing to coat well.
  3. Fry the Chicken
    • Heat oil to medium-high.
    • Fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
    • Drain on paper towels.
  4. Make Buffalo Sauce
    Mix hot sauce with melted butter until smooth.
  5. Sauce the Chicken
    Toss or brush the fried chicken generously with buffalo sauce.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich
    • Place buffalo chicken between two pickle halves.
    • Press gently so it holds together.

Optional Add-Ons

  • A swipe of ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • Slice of mozzarella or pepper jack cheese
  • Extra hot sauce for heat lovers 🔥
