2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
2 cups All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Cornstarch
2 tsp Smoked Paprika
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Onion Powder
2 tsp Cajun Seasoning (Creole Seasoning)

Steps:

  • In a airtight, leak proof bag (Ziploc) or dish with lid, combine the buttermilk, dried thyme leaves, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Add chicken breasts to the marinade ensuring fully submerged. Marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator, or preferably overnight.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and whisk together until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of fresh buttermilk (do not use the same buttermilk marinade - may become too salty), the egg, and hot sauce.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper fitted with a wired rack. Remove one marinated chicken breast from the bag, shake off excess liquid, and dip both sides in the seasoned flour mixture until the chicken is completely covered, then dip in buttermilk/egg wash and then back in the flour mixture - shake off excess flour, and place on prepared wired rack. Repeat until all chicken dipped and dredged then allow chicken to rest for 20 mins.
  • In a dutch oven pot or skillet, heat vegetable oil to around 365 - 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry the chicken breasts in batches, do not overcrowd the pot. Once golden brown with an internal temp of 160 degree Fahrenheit (the temp will climb to about 165 after removing), remove and place on a clean wired cooling rack.
  • In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw ingredients, mix together and set aside. Then in another small bowl combine spicy mayo ingredients and set aside.
  • Butter and toast your Brioche buns, then layer on your chicken, coleslaw, pickles and dollop of spicy mayo. Serve warm & enjoy!!

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar or rice vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 1/2 quarts (6 cups) vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups cornstarch
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
3 to 5 dried Szechuan peppercorns, crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 large Hawaiian rolls
Butter, for the rolls
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Chinese Slaw, recipe follows
Chinese Hot Mustard, recipe follows
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
2 carrots, julienned
1 medium head napa cabbage, shredded
1 red Fresno chile, seeds and ribs removed, julienned
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup dry English-style mustard, such as Coleman's
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp grater
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, optional

Steps:

  • For the marinade and chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the hoisin, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch. Transfer 1/4 cup of the mixture to a ziptop bag and add the chicken thighs. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 3 hours, but ideally overnight. Reserve the remaining hoisin mixture to make the General Tso's sauce.
  • For the crispy chicken: In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
  • In a pie dish or shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. In a separate pie dish or shallow bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and self-rising flour. Mix 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk-egg mixture into the flour mixture; lightly whisk to work the buttermilk into the dredge to create crispy, craggly little bits.
  • Dunk the chicken first in the buttermilk-egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture to coat thoroughly. Gently drop the chicken into the oil, in batches if necessary, and fry until golden brown and the interior registers 160 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • For the General Tso's sauce: Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepot over medium-low heat. Add the ginger, Szechuan peppercorns and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute; do not burn. Add the reserved hoisin mixture, bring to a simmer and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • While the fried chicken is still hot, submerge it in the warm sauce to coat.
  • For the sandwich build: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Split the rolls in half and butter the insides. Griddle or toast until golden brown.
  • Place a dunked chicken thigh on each roll and top with a nice sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Top with the Chinese Slaw and Chinese Hot Mustard.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the green onions, carrots, cabbage and chile. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then pour over the cabbage mixture. Toss until the slaw is coated. Let the flavors meld for at least 30 minutes.
  • Whisk the boiling water and mustard together in a bowl. Let cool completely.
  • Mix in the mayonnaise and garlic, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Lunch

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

14 oz cannellini bean
14 oz firm tofu, pressed, cut into large cubes
2 tablespoons olive
1 tablespoon vegan worcestershire sauce
1 vegetable bouillon packet, dissolved in 1 tablespoon warm water
1 tablespoon onion powder, plus 1 teaspoon, divided
2 tablespoons garlic powder, plus 1 teaspoon, divided
2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus 1½ teaspoons, divided, plus more to taste
1 ¾ cups vital wheat gluten, plus 2 tablespoons
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
4 cups oat milk
¾ cup dill pickle juice
2 dashes hot sauce
8 cups canola oil, for frying
¼ cup corn starch
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups purple cabbage, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
⅓ cup vegan mayonnaise
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon brown mustard
1 dash hot sauce
1 pinch kosher salt
8 vegan brioche buns, toasted
dill pickle, sliced
hot sauce of choice

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine the cannellini beans and their liquid, the tofu, olive oil, worcestershire sauce, dissolved bouillon, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1½ teaspoons salt. Blend on high speed until smooth and homogenous.
  • Add the vital wheat gluten in batches, blending between additions and scraping down the sides of the bowl to fully incorporate. The mixture should start coming together into a dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until elastic and smooth. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Lightly sprinkle each piece with flour and roll out to flatten. Using your hands, shape each portion to resemble a chicken breast.
  • Wrap each piece of "chicken" in parchment paper and transfer to a steamer pot. Steam for 80 minutes, flipping halfway through. The steaming process is important to ensure the vital wheat gluten is fully cooked.
  • Towards the end of the steaming, prepare the brine: In a large, shallow dish, whisk together the oat milk, pickle juice, hot sauce, and 1 tablespoon salt.
  • Remove the "chicken" from the steamer and discard the parchment paper. Transfer the warm "chicken" to the brine to marinate for 1-2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the quick slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Toss to combine well and set aside.
  • Make the vegan aioli: In a small bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, hot sauce, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  • Fill a large pot with the canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • While the oil heats, bread the "chicken": In a wide, shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, remaining 2 tablespoons garlic powder, remaining tablespoon onion powder, the paprika, cayenne, remaining tablespoon salt, and pepper. Mix together with a fork.
  • Remove the "chicken"from the brine. Lightly coat in the flour mixture, then set aside.
  • Add about ¼ cup (60 ml) of the brining liquid to the flour and mix with a fork to create some clumps, which will fry up to be crispy bits. Dip each floured "chicken" breast in the brine, making sure there are no dry spots. Coat each piece again in the clumpy flour mixture.
  • Working 2 at a time, fry the "chicken" for 3-4 minutes, until deep golden brown and crispy. Transfer the "chicken" to a wire rack and season lightly with salt. Bring the oil temperature back to 350°F (180°C) between batches.
  • To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon of aioli across the bottom of each toasted brioche bun. Top with pickles, a piece chicken, a dash of hot sauce, and about ½ cup (50g) slaw. Top with the top bun.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose a firm and flavorful fish or chicken for your sandwich. Salmon, tilapia, catfish, and cod are all great options for fish, while chicken breast or thigh meat works well for chicken sandwiches.
  • Be sure to season your fish or chicken well before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the sandwich.
  • Use a light coating of flour or bread crumbs to help the fish or chicken crisp up in the pan.
  • Cook your fish or chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through. Do not overcook, or the fish or chicken will become dry and tough.
  • To make the spicy mayonnaise, simply combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder, to taste.
  • Serve your crispy fish or chicken sandwich on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.

Conclusion:

A crispy fish or chicken sandwich with spicy mayonnaise is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
