The Ultimate Crispy Chicken Sandwich – Griddle Style

If you're craving a crispy, juicy chicken sandwich that beats anything from a drive-thru, you've come to the right place. This Crispy Chicken Sandwich is griddled to perfection, packed with flavor, and stacked with Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, ham, fresh lettuce, and tomato—all on a toasted, buttery bun slathered in Chick-fil-A sauce.

The key to that golden, crunchy crust? A Panko-Parmesan breading seasoned with Big Poppa’s Desert Gold, while the egg wash gets a hit of Little Louie’s Seasoning for maximum flavor.

This Crispy Chicken Sandwich is next-level crunchy, juicy, and packed with flavor. A Panko-Parmesan crust, melty Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, and ham make it unstoppable. Toasted buns, Chick-fil-A sauce, and fresh toppings take it over the top.

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts (sliced thin into 4 portions)

  • 2 eggs (beaten)

  • 1 tsp Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s Seasoning

  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan

  • 1 tsp Big Poppa’s Desert Gold Seasoning

  • 4 burger buns

  • 4 Swiss cheese slices

  • 4 slices ham

  • 4 slices bacon

  • 4 lettuce leaves

  • 1 tomato, sliced

  • 2 tbsp melted garlic butter

  • ¼ cup Chick-fil-A sauce

  • Oil (for cooking)

Directions

  1. Prep the Chicken:

    Slice the chicken breasts into burger-sized portions. In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s.

  2. Make the Breading:

    In a separate bowl, mix Panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Season with Big Poppa’s Desert Gold.

  3. Bread the Chicken:

    Dip each chicken portion into the egg wash, then coat in the Panko-Parmesan mix. Double dip by repeating the process for an extra crispy crust. Let the breaded chicken rest for a few minutes so the coating sets.

  4. Heat the Griddle:

    Preheat to medium-high heat and add oil.

  5. Cook the Chicken:

    Place the breaded chicken on the griddle and cover. Cook for 4 minutes per side, flipping when golden brown. After flipping, add ham and bacon on top, then cover with Swiss cheese to melt.

  6. Toast the Buns:

    Brush the burger buns with melted garlic butter and toast on the griddle until golden.

  7. Assemble the Sandwich:

    Spread Chick-fil-A sauce on both buns. Add a lettuce leaf to the bottom bun to keep it from getting soggy. Place the crispy chicken patty on top. Add tomato slices and cap it off with the top bun.

  8. Serve & Enjoy:

    Slice in half and get ready for the crunch!
