. Prepare the Chicken:

• In a bowl, season the buttermilk with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

• Submerge the chicken breasts in the buttermilk mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate (you can marinate up to 4 hours for more flavor).

2. Coat the Chicken:

• In a shallow dish, combine the flour and breadcrumbs.

• After marinating, remove the chicken from the buttermilk and coat each breast in the flour and breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.

3. Fry the Chicken:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring there’s enough oil to cover the chicken halfway.

• Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F).

• Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Toast the Buns:

• While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the sandwich buns in the oven or on a skillet until golden brown.

5. Assemble the Sandwich:

• Spread Caesar dressing on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

• Place a fried chicken breast on the bottom bun.

• Top the chicken with shredded romaine lettuce and a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

• Drizzle more Caesar dressing over the lettuce if desired.

• Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun.

6. Serve:

Serve the Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich immediately with a side of fries, chips, or a light salad.
