Ranch & Blue Cheese Combo

Directions

    1. Step 1In large bowl, combine chicken, buttermilk, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place flour in large shallow dish. Remove 1 piece chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off; dip in flour, then buttermilk, then flour. Place on cutting board. Repeat with remaining chicken.
    2. Step 2In 12" skillet, heat oil on medium-high until hot (325 degrees F on deep fry thermometer). Add chicken to skillet and reduce heat to medium. Fry 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and chicken is cooked (165 degrees F), turning over occasionally for even browning and adjusting heat as needed. (If chicken is browning too quickly reduce heat to medium-low for a few minutes. Transfer to wire rack set over large piece foil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve on rolls, topped with romaine, tomato, pickles and hot sauce.
