Instructions
In a deep pot, heat oil to 350 degrees. Use a candy thermometer to monitor oil temperature.
Dice chicken into bite sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, panko, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic powder together. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk.
Dredge chicken in egg and buttermilk then dip into panko mixture gently pressing to ensure breadcrumbs adhere.
Fry chicken in batches for about 60 seconds, keeping oil temperature close to 350 degrees. Set on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Tear romaine and toss together with onion, cheese and ranch dressing. Plate salad and top with chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
