Canola oil, for frying
4 cups milk
5 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour seasoned with salt, pepper and lime zest
12 ounces panko, pulsed in food processor
2 ounces Sriracha
1 ounce fish sauce
1 ounce ginger, peeled
1 ounce gochujang
1 ounce sesame oil
1 ounce rice vinegar
1 ounce yuzu kosho
1 ounce yuzu
1 clove garlic, blanched and shocked
6 ounces canola oil
2 carrots, julienned
1 head napa cabbage, julienned
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 ounce peanuts, toasted and roughly chopped
1 ounce fish sauce
1 ounce ginger, grated
1 ounce soy sauce
1 ounce rice wine vinegar
1 ounce fresh yuzu juice
1 ounce yuzu kosho
4 Yukon gold potatoes
Kosher salt
2 Fresno chiles, sliced
1 bunch cilantro leaves
1 green papaya, sliced
1 ounce toasted sesame oil
4 sesame seed buns

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Break down the chickens, removing all bones. Remove the tenders. Pound the breasts and thighs separately. Sprinkle all of the chicken pieces with salt.
  • Preheat the oven to 220 degrees F. In a food processor, puree the chicken tenders with the cream, garlic, egg white, a touch of soy sauce and some yuzu kosho until smooth. Using this mixture, glue the thigh and breast together like a sandwich. Cook the chicken for 30 minutes. Cool the chicken in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat a deep fryer with canola oil until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the milk and eggs together for an egg wash. Dust the chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg wash and coat with the panko. Deep fry until golden brown and warm on the inside. Keep the oil hot for later use.
  • For the aioli: Put the Sriracha, fish sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, vinegar, yuzu kosho, yuzo and garlic in a blender. Blend while slowly adding the canola oil until thick. Transfer to a squirt bottle.
  • For the slaw: Place the carrots, cabbage and scallions in a bowl along with the peanuts. Marinate with the fish sauce, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, yuzu juice and yuzu kosho.
  • For the chips: Peel and cut the potatoes using a mandoline into gaufrettes. Soak in cold water. Fry the potatoes golden brown, and then season with kosher salt.
  • Layer the aioli, fried chicken, some cilantro leaves, papaya slices and a drizzle of sesame seed oil on the buns, and serve with the chips on the side.

Time 1h4m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon chile flakes
1/2 cup peanut oil
Four 4-ounce chicken breasts
4 focaccia rolls, or other good-quality round crusty sandwich roll
4 slices provolone
Romaine lettuce
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
Aioli, recipe follows
1/4 cup chopped basil
2 egg yolks*
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups safflower oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the ginger, garlic, green onions, chile flakes, and peanut oil. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a small roasting pan or on a baking sheet. Roast the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Cut the chicken crosswise into very thin slices.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
  • Slice the rolls horizontally and place on a baking sheet with the top half cut-side down and the bottom half with cut-side up. Place 1 slice of provolone on the bottom half of each roll. Cook until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
  • Place 1/4 of the chicken on top of the melted cheese. Top with romaine lettuce, tomato, and red onions. Spread some of the Aioli on the top half of the roll and place the roll on top of the sandwich.
  • In a food processor or blender, combine the garlic, basil, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard and process to combine. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until it is all added and the mixture is emulsified. Add the lemon juice and check the seasoning.
