Provided by Food Network

Time 18m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
Peanut oil, for frying
1 large egg
1/2 cup nonfat milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon malted milk powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 sour pickle, cut into 8 slices, plus 1 tablespoon pickle juice from the jar
2 teaspoons white vinegar
4 soft hamburger buns, split
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each);
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets. Place the cutlets between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/8-inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon each pepper and paprika.
  • Heat about 2 inches peanut oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the egg, milk and 2 tablespoons water in a baking dish. Whisk both flours, the malted milk powder, confectioners' sugar, baking soda, dry mustard, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in another dish. Toss the pickle slices, pickle juice and vinegar in a bowl and set aside.
  • Working in batches, dip the chicken in the egg mixture, turning to coat, then dredge in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown, about 4 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed. Drain on paper towels.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread the cut sides of the buns with some of the butter and lightly toast in the skillet, buttered-side down; spread with more butter. Put 2 pickle slices on each bun bottom; top with a piece of chicken and cover with the bun tops.

FUNKY CHICKEN SANDWICH

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
1 cup finely shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce, plus more to taste (up to 3 tablespoons total)
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt
4 boneless, skinless thin-cut chicken cutlets, each about 1/4-inch thick
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 brioche burger buns, split
2 vine-ripened or heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the tangy slaw: Whisk together the vinegar, sugar, celery salt and pepper in a small bowl until combined. Stir in the mayo until incorporated. Add the scallions and green and red cabbage and toss to coat. Set aside, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours in advance.
  • For the spicy mayo: Whisk together the mayonnaise and hot sauce in a small bowl. Taste and add more hot sauce depending on how spicy you like it. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • For the fried chicken: Mix the yogurt, 1 teaspoon of the paprika, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Add the chicken cutlets and coat evenly. Let the chicken sit in the marinade for about 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours refrigerated.
  • Once the chicken has marinated, pour about 2 inches of oil in a deep 10-inch cast-iron skillet and place over medium-high until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Line a sheet pan with paper towels.
  • While the oil heats, whisk together the flour, onion powder, remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper in a small shallow dish. Remove the cutlets from the yogurt, allowing any excess yogurt to drip off, and dredge the cutlets in the flour mixture.
  • Carefully add the dredged chicken to the hot oil and fry until the chicken is deeply golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes, flipping the cutlet about halfway through the cooking time. Drain on the paper towels and immediately sprinkle the chicken with more salt to taste.
  • Toast the burger buns until golden brown. Spread 1 tablespoon of the mayo over the top and bottom of each bun. Place a piece of fried chicken on each bottom bun, top that with slices of tomato and some slaw and cover with the top buns. Serve immediately.

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:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer and check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also pan-fry the chicken in a large skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • For a healthier version of the sandwich, you can use grilled chicken instead of fried chicken.
  • If you're looking for a more flavorful sandwich, try adding some spices or herbs to the chicken batter, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
