SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Pound Chicken: Lay a chicken breast on your chopping board, cover with cling film and pinch around the edges (so no juices escape). Pound until even thickness, but not so thin it starts breaking apart. Around 3/4" is fine. Cut and discard any parts around the breast that rip off (can cut the tails off to create circle/burger shape if you want). Repeat with remaining breasts.
• Marinate: In a large mixing bowl combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt and white pepper. Add in the chicken breasts and combine to ensure they'll all coated. Cover with cling film and marinate in the fridge. I recommend a minimum of 4 hours (up to overnight) but just as long as you have time for. Take the chicken out the fridge 30mins before needed to bring close to room temp (see notes).
• Dredge: In a large shallow dish or tray combine flour with paprika, cayenne pepper, onion & garlic powder, baking powder and salt & black pepper. One by one coat the breasts in the flour, making sure you completely coat each time. Really get in all the cracks and crevices of the chicken to create lots of little flaky parts. Place to one side.
• Fry: In a large pot or deep pan heat up oil to 180C/356F. In batches of 1-2 (depending on pot size), carefully lower the chicken in the hot oil. The temp will likely drop to around 165C/300F, just maintain that heat as the chicken fries. Depending on the thickness of the chicken it'll take around 4-5mins on one side, then flip and continue frying for another couple of minutes. The chicken should be deep golden, visibly crunchy with the bubbling oil starting to slow down. The internal temp of the chicken should reach 75C/165F. Carefully remove and rest on wire rack with paper towels underneath (don't place directly on paper towel or they'll lose crispiness). Bring oil temp back up to 180C/356F between each batch.
• Glaze: Once you've fried the 4 breasts, scoop out 1/2cup of the oil and pour into a mixing bowl. Add in honey, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt & black pepper and whisk until it emulsifies and thickens into a glaze. Brush both sides of the chicken with the glaze.
• Sandwich: Stack the sandwich in the following order - toasted bun, mayonnaise, lettuce, chicken, pickles & jalapeños, top bun. Enjoy!

SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt and pepper and set aside. Mix the flour and cayenne in a shallow dish or bowl. Stir together the egg, buttermilk and 1 tablespoon hot sauce in a second shallow dish or bowl. Add the breadcrumbs to a third shallow dish. Coat each chicken breast by dredging in the flour mix, then dipping in the egg/buttermilk mixture and then finally in the breadcrumbs. Set aside.
• To a bowl, add the remaining cup of Louisiana hot sauce and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Mix together and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over a medium heat. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the chicken pieces to the skillet and fry until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. One by one dip the crisp chicken into the Louisiana hot sauce and butter mixture, turning to coat completely.
• Serve on the toasted buns with tons of pickles.

SPICY FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and hot sauce. In another bowl, toss the cabbage, parsley and jalapeno with the pickle juice.
• Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet to 350 degrees F.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, pepper, cayenne and salt. Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish. Working with one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip in the buttermilk and allow the excess to drip off. Dredge again in the flour mixture.
• Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Spread the bottom of each sandwich roll with the spicy mayo mixture. Layer on the pickles and fried chicken. Drizzle with honey, then top with some slaw and the sandwich roll tops.

COPYCAT WENDY'S SPICY CHICKEN FILLET SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, jalapeño juice, buttermilk and hot sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour, more if you have the time.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and chili powder.
• To dredge the chicken, remove each piece from the buttermilk mixture and dip into the seasoned flour. Dip once again into the buttermilk and once more into the dry ingredients. Place the dredged chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and continue coating the remaining chicken pieces. Allow the coated chicken to rest while you heat up the oil. This will prevent the coating from falling off during frying.
• Pour the oil into a large pot and heat up to 365 degrees F. Carefully lower the chicken into the hot oil, cooking it in batches to not overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and the chicken reaches 165 degrees, about 4 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the oven and place on a clean wire rack, set over a baking sheet.
• Set a large pan or griddle over medium high heat, melt the butter and toast the buns, cut side down.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread the buns with mayonnaise and place a chicken on each bottom bun. Top with lettuce and tomato and the top bun. Serve immediately.
