HOMEMADE CHICK-FIL-A SANDWICH RECIPE

Steps:

• In a shallow dish whisk the eggs with the milk, set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, with cayenne, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
• In a different dish, combine the flour with milk powder, baking powder, and the spice mix.
• To create a shaggy crust/crumbles, add 2 tablespoons of the egg milk mixture to the dry flour mixture, and rub with your fingertips until the flour mixture is coarse.
• Preheat the oil in a Dutch oven or a deep fryer to 350°F (180°C) degrees.
• To coat the chicken, dip each chicken cutlet in the egg milk mixture, and allow any excess to drip off then dredge in the flour mixture and press down firmly for the flour mixture to adhere.
• Gently shake off any excess and slowly drop in hot oil. Repeat with the remaining chicken cutlets, and fry for 4 minutes. The chicken is ready when the internal temperature registers at 165°F (74°C) degrees. If shallow frying, fry for 3-4 minutes on each side and check the internal temperature with an instant read thermometer.
• Transfer to a wire rack and top with cheese (American, Colby Jack, or Pepper Jack).
• To assemble, toast the hamburger buns, spread the chick-fil-a sauce on both sides of the bun. Top with pickles, lettuce, 2 tomato slices, fried chicken, and cheese. Close sandwich and serve with waffle potato fries.

COPYCAT CHICK-FIL-A SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. With your hand flat on top of it, carefully slice the chicken in half horizontally. Trim excess fat as needed. In a large shallow baking dish, combine chicken, pickle juice and 1/2 cup milk; marinate for at least 30 minutes. Drain well. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. In another large shallow baking dish, whisk together remaining 1 cup milk and egg. Stir in chicken to coat and drain excess milk mixture. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken, flour and confectioners' sugar; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve chicken immediately on burger buns with green leaf lettuce, tomato and pickles.

CHICK-FIL-A CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH COPYCAT

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: combine the pickle juice and water in a ziplock bag. Add the chicken breast halves and marinate for 30 minutes.
• Make the sauce: Make the Chick-fil-A sauce by combining all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
• Next, in a large bowl mix the breading ingredients together: flour, powdered sugar, paprika, black pepper, chili powder, salt, and baking powder.
• In another bowl mix the milk, and egg.
• Add 2-3 cups of oil to a large saucepan and heat oil to about 350 degrees F.
• Coat the chicken: Dip the marinated chicken into the egg mixture, and then coat in the flour breading mixture. Now "double-dip" by repeating this step and dipping that same chicken tender back into the egg mixture and then back into the flour again!
• Pan fry: Place chicken in hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove to paper towel to dry.
• Assemble Sandwich: Toast the sandwich buns. Grab the Chick-fil-A sauce and smooth it on both sides of the buns. Top with lettuce, cheese, and crispy chicken! Enjoy!

AIR FRYER CHICKEN SANDWICH (CHICK-FIL-A COPYCAT)

Steps:

• You can use a sealable bag or a large bowl to brine the chicken. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl or sealable bag along with the pickle juice and buttermilk. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sweetener to a large bowl, large enough to dredge the chicken. Stir to combine.
• Add the egg to a bowl large enough to dredge the chicken.
• Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge both breasts in the beaten egg and then the flour. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket. (The use of the egg is optional and will help keep the breading intact on your sandwich. I often make this without using the egg).
• Spritz the top of the chicken with peanut oil. Spray from a distance.
• Air fry on 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Open the air fryer and flip the chicken. Be careful with tongs. You don't want to lose any of the breading on the chicken. Your chicken may be fully cooked at this point and you may only need a couple of minutes to crisp this side of the chicken. Spritz this side of the chicken.
• Air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until the chicken is crisp. You should also use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.
• Every air fryer model and brand will cook at varying speeds. Monitor your results carefully, and adjust as needed.
• For toasted buns, toast the buns for 3-4 minutes on 400 degrees.
• Remove the chicken from the air fryer and assemble the sandwich.
