Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
12 dill pickle slices, with brine
peanut oil for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon salt
paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon celery salt
½ teaspoon dried basil
2 large eggs
milk
2 tablespoons butter, softened
6 sandwich buns

Steps:

  • Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness. Cut each breast in half and place in a bowl. Pour pickle brine on top and let sit for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, mix flour, powdered sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, celery salt, and basil in a bowl.
  • Whisk eggs and milk together in another bowl.
  • Drain liquid from the chicken and rinse off briefly. Shake any excess liquid from chicken.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the egg-milk mixture, then coat again with the flour. Dip each piece again, if desired.
  • Deep-fry chicken, 3 pieces at a time, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Let chicken rest on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet for 5 minutes. While chicken is resting, lightly butter each sandwich bun and toast them in a skillet.
  • Add 2 pickle slices to the bottom of each bun, then a chicken piece, then top with the other bun. Repeat to make remaining sandwiches.

FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 cups buttermilk, shaken
1 shallot, peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 jalapeño pepper (with seeds), halved lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 small skinless, boneless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon celery salt
2 (48-ounce) bottles canola oil
6 potato hamburger buns, toasted, for serving
Buttermilk Herb Mayo, for serving (recipe follows)
6 Bibb lettuce leaves
Kosher dill pickles, such as Claussen, thinly sliced, for serving
1 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
2 tablespoons buttermilk, shaken
1 teaspoon good white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1/8 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, shallot, garlic, jalapeño, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of parchment paper and, with a rolling pin or a meat mallet, pound them until they are evenly 1/2 inch thick. Slice each piece of chicken in half crosswise so you have 2 pieces approximately the same size. Place the chicken in the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to (but not more than) 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 300˚. Set a wire rack on a sheet pan and place them in the oven.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, celery salt, 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and set aside.
  • Pour oil into a medium (9-inch round by 4 1/2-inch high) Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, until it is 2 inches deep. Clip on a candy thermometer and heat the oil over high heat until it reaches 350˚. Meanwhile, lift the chicken from the marinade, dredge it in the flour mixture, submerge it again in the marinade, then again in the flour mixture, lightly shaking off the excess. Transfer the chicken to a plate or sheet pan until ready to fry.
  • When the oil is 350˚, carefully lower 3 pieces only into the oil with tongs and adjust the heat to keep the oil at 350˚. Don't crowd the chicken! Cook for 5 minutes, turning once to brown evenly. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to the sheet pan in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Sprinkle all the chicken with salt and keep warm for up to 15 minutes, until ready to serve.
  • To assemble, place the bottom of each bun on a plate, spread with some of the buttermilk herb mayo, then top with a lettuce leaf, 4 pickle slices, then a piece of chicken. Spread the underside of the top bun generously with more of the mayo and place on top of the chicken, mayo side down. Serve while the chicken is still warm.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, scallions, parsley, chives, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your fried chicken sandwiches and waffle fries. Choose fresh, high-quality chicken breasts for the sandwiches, and use russet potatoes for the fries.
  • Brine the chicken. Brining the chicken breasts in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help to keep them moist and flavorful. You can brine the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or for up to overnight.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to evenly cook the chicken and waffle fries. Make sure to preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. When cooking the chicken or waffle fries, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer. To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the sandwiches and fries hot. Fried chicken sandwiches and waffle fries are best served hot. You can keep them warm in a low oven until you're ready to serve.
