Crunchy Chicken Sandwich Food

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, mix the Panko crumbs, flour and salt together.
• Dredge the chicken pieces in the egg, shaking off the excess. Then set the chicken in the Panko mixture and flip it a few times to thoroughly coat the outside.
• Using a heavy and deep skillet or dutch oven, pour the cooking oil into the pan until there is a solid layer of oil in the bottom, about 1/8 inch high. The oil needs to be heated to and stay at 350 degrees F for the perfect fry.
• When the oil reaches 350 degrees, add the chicken and cook on each side for 5 minutes or until the Panko looks golden brown. When the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, remove the chicken to a wire rack. Season with salt.
• To assemble the sandwiches, add sauce to the bottom bun, then add the chicken and top with cabbage, cilantro and more sauce, as desired.

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH RECIPE

Steps:

• Pound chicken cutlets between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2" thickness so they cook more evenly.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Add Chicken, turning to coat then cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours or overnight.
• In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together breading ingredients: flour, salt, pepper, baking powder, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. Remove a piece of chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off and dip chicken into flour mixture, pressing it on with your hands to coat well. Transfer to a wire rack.
• Heat 1 " oil in a soup pot or dutch oven to 350˚F. Just before frying chicken, dip it into the seasoned flour again for a thick and shaggy exterior.Add chicken, 2 pieces at a time for a smaller pot so you don't crowd and reduce the temperature of the oil too quickly.
• Place chicken into the oil one by one. Adjust the flame to keep the oil temperature at 300-325˚F. Cook 3-4 minutes on the first side or until browned and crisp then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes on the second side or until cooked through and chicken is browned and crisp all over.
• Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. The internal temperature will continue to rise as it rests. The final resting temperature of the chicken should reach 165˚F.
• Lightly butter and toast the cut sides of your buns and build your crispy chicken sandwiches with desired toppings.

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Pound chicken to ½" - ¾" thick (just to make sure it's even). Combine all brine ingredients in a large bowl until sugar/salt are dissolved. Add chicken, cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Combine flour, corn starch, baking powder and seasonings in a bowl. Remove ¾ cup of this flour mixture and place in a shallow pan (this is the dry dredge).
• Add ¾ cup cold water to the remaining flour mixture and whisk until smooth. *see note
• Heat oil over medium heat to 350°F in a Dutch oven or deep pan.
• Remove chicken breasts from the brine; pat dry with paper towels. Discard the brine.
• Dip the chicken breasts into dry mixture, shaking off any excess and then into the batter ensuring it's coated on both sides. Allow excess batter to drip off. Dip back into the dry mixture to gently coat.
• Carefully place chicken in the hot oil (ensuring it stays at 350°F). Cook until the chicken coating is a deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 3-4 minutes per side (depending on thickness).
• Remove from oil and place chicken on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Butter each sesame seed bun and toast under the broiler just until golden.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the chicken, buttermilk, lemon and salt in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• For the crispy prosciutto: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Lay the prosciutto flat on the baking sheet and spray with a few more spritzes. Bake until lightly toasted and crispy, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• For the mayo: Mix together the mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the sandwiches: Mix together the flour, breadcrumbs and salt in a shallow bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grapeseed oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, removing as much of the buttermilk as possible, and dredge in the flour mixture. Place immediately in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Fry on the first side until golden brown and there is a ring of cooked chicken around the edges, about 5 minutes. Gently flip the chicken and continue to cook on the second side until evenly golden brown and cooked through, an additional 4 minutes. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each and cover the pan for an additional minute to melt the cheese. Alternatively, you can remove the chicken to a small baking tray, top with the mozzarella and place under the broiler until melted and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Spread the cut sides of the buns evenly with pesto mayonnaise. Place a small amount of arugula on the bottom halves and top with a cutlet. Break a slice of crispy prosciutto on top. Close the sandwiches and enjoy.

• For each sandwich, place 1 lettuce leaf on the browned bun bottom ( that's an odd phrase, huh?)and spoon over 1/4 of the "Buffalo" sauce. Top with a cutlet, another 1/4 of the sauce and a lettuce leaf.
• If you have extra sauce, dipping your sandwich as you eat is encouraged.
