Creating the Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich at home is a breeze with these simple steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This will help tenderize the chicken and enhance the flavor.
2. Prepare Coating: In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Dredge Chicken: Remove chicken from the buttermilk and let excess drip off. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating it evenly.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Fry Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil. Fry for 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Drain Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
7. Assemble Sandwich: Spread Caesar dressing on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a generous amount of chopped romaine lettuce, then place the crispy chicken breast on top.
8. Add Toppings: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken, then drizzle more Caesar dressing if desired.
9. Complete Sandwich: Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and press down gently.
10. Serve: Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.

These steps will lead you to create a sandwich that not only looks great but tastes even better!
