A crispy chicken sandwich is just one of those great things that just clicks when you bite into the sandwich. No one really knows where a crispy chicken sandwich is originally from, but some people think that it is Chick-Fi-la that has made the first chicken sandwich. And that is because its the first fast food restaurant that has made a chicken sandwich.
Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 medium chicken breasts (boneless, skinless), halved into 6 cutlets
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1 Tbsp hot sauce (we use Frank’s Red Hot)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Classic Breading for Fried Chicken:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Oil for frying - vegetable oil, canola oil or peanut oil
Preparations
- Pound chicken cutlets between plastic wrap to an even 1/2” thickness for even frying.
- Marinate chicken – In a large mixing bowl, combine marinade ingredients, add chicken and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2-4 hours or overnight.
- Dredge Chicken – In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together: flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Lift a piece of marinated chicken, letting excess marinade drip off, and dip chicken into the flour mixture, pressing it on with your hands to coat well. Transfer to a wire rack. Keep the flour mixture for step 5.
- Heat 1-inch of oil in a soup pot or dutch oven to 350˚F. See our favorite oils for frying below.
- Re-dip the chicken into the flour mixture just before frying. Add chicken 2 pieces at a time so you don’t crowd.
Thank You so Much!
