COPYCAT CARL JR'S BACON SWISS CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH



Copycat Carl Jr's Bacon Swiss Crispy Chicken Sandwich image

This recipe is from: http://www.topsecretrecipes.com. We don't have Carl Jr's around here but figured that they must be good if someone is trying to copycat them. I wasn't disappointed! Love the ranch dressing! I used a chicken fryer skillet rather than a deep fryer.

Provided by Claudia Dawn

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 28

4 chicken breast fillets
4 hamburger buns with sesame seeds
4 leaves lettuce
4 slices tomatoes
4 slices kraft swiss cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked
6 -8 cups vegetable shortening
1 egg
1 cup water
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon parsley
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 dash garlic
1 dash ground black pepper
1 dash dill weed
1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 teaspoons hot water

Steps:

  • Preheat 6-8 cups of shortening in a deep fryer to 350 degrees or use a deep chicken fryer skillet adding 2" of shortening.
  • To prepare the ranch dressing, combine all of the ingredients except the water and gelatin in small bowl.
  • Mix the water with the gelatin in a small cup until all of the gelatin is dissolved.
  • Add this gelatin solution to the other ingredients and stir.
  • Cover and chill the dressing until it's needed (I like to prepare the day before so flavors blend).
  • Beat the egg and then combine with 1 cup water in a small, shallow bowl.
  • Stir.
  • Combine the flour, salt, onion powder and garlic powder in another shallow bowl.
  • Pound each of the breast fillets with a mallet until about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Working with one fillet at a time, first coat each fillet with the flour, then dredge it in the egg and water mixture.
  • Coat the chicken once again in the flour and set it aside until all of the fillets have been breaded.
  • Fry the chicken fillets until light brown and crispy.
  • As chicken is frying, prepare each sandwich by grilling the face of the hamburger buns on a hot skillet over medium heat.
  • Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the ranch dressing on the face of the top and bottom buns.
  • On the bottom bun, stack a leaf of lettuce and a tomato slice.
  • When the chicken is done frying, remove the fillets from the fryer and drain them on paper towels or a rack for a couple of minutes.
  • Stack one fillet onto the bottom of the sandwich (onto the tomato), then stack a slice of the Swiss cheese onto the chicken.
  • Arrange the bacon, crosswise, on top of the Swiss cheese, then top off the sandwich with the top bun.
  • Repeat the stacking process for each of the remaining sandwiches.

Tips:

  • For the chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using thighs, trim off excess fat.
  • To easily pound the chicken breasts, place them between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten them to an even thickness.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • For the bacon, use thick-cut bacon for a more substantial texture.
  • To prevent the bacon from curling up while cooking, par-cook it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes before wrapping it around the chicken.
  • For the cheese, use a good quality Swiss cheese that melts well.
  • If you don't have a bread machine, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • To make the braid, divide the dough into three equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a long, thin rope. Then, pinch the three ropes together at one end and braid them together.
  • Before baking, brush the braid with an egg wash to give it a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the chicken bacon Swiss braid warm with your favorite sides.
