2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 ½ cups plain greek yogurt
3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
softened butter, for buns
8 brioche burger buns
1 head butter lettuce
2 tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Make the buttermilk marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Toss in the chicken thighs in the marinade to coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight.
  • Make the dill dressing: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Cover and let sit for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator to chill.
  • Make the seasoned flour: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder. Dip the marinated chicken in the flour mixture until the chicken is completely covered.
  • Heat the oil in a deep pot until it reaches 350˚F (180˚C). Do not fill more than halfway with oil. Carefully fry the chicken for 7 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • The internal temperature should reach 165˚F (75˚C), and the chicken should be golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Butter the cut sides of the burger buns, then toast on the hot skillet until browned and crisp. Build the sandwiches with the toasted buns, lettuce, fried chicken, tomato slices, and dill dressing.

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH RECIPE



Crispy Chicken Sandwich Recipe image

These Chicken Sandwiches are crispy on the outside with a juicy center. We're sharing all of our best tips for making flavorful fried chicken breast with a thick and shaggy crust that crunches when you bite into it.

Provided by Natasha Kravchuk

Categories     Easy/Medium

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 medium chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, halved into 6 cutlets)
1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
1 Tbsp hot sauce ((we use Frank's Red Hot brand))
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Oil for frying - vegetable oil (canola oil or peanut oil)
6 burger buns (buttered and toasted)
6 green lettuce leaves
1 large tomato (sliced)
2 dill pickles (sliced into rings)
Mayonnaise (or your favorite sauce)

Steps:

  • Pound chicken cutlets between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2" thickness so they cook more evenly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Add Chicken, turning to coat then cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours or overnight.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together breading ingredients: flour, salt, pepper, baking powder, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. Remove a piece of chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off and dip chicken into flour mixture, pressing it on with your hands to coat well. Transfer to a wire rack.
  • Heat 1 " oil in a soup pot or dutch oven to 350˚F. Just before frying chicken, dip it into the seasoned flour again for a thick and shaggy exterior.Add chicken, 2 pieces at a time for a smaller pot so you don't crowd and reduce the temperature of the oil too quickly.
  • Place chicken into the oil one by one. Adjust the flame to keep the oil temperature at 300-325˚F. Cook 3-4 minutes on the first side or until browned and crisp then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes on the second side or until cooked through and chicken is browned and crisp all over.
  • Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. The internal temperature will continue to rise as it rests. The final resting temperature of the chicken should reach 165˚F.
  • Lightly butter and toast the cut sides of your buns and build your crispy chicken sandwiches with desired toppings.

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICHES



Crispy Chicken Sandwiches image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 6h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 chicken cutlets
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 lemon, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Olive oil cooking spray, for the baking sheet
4 slices prosciutto
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons store-bought pesto
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
4 slices mozzarella
4 potato buns, toasted
1/2 cup baby arugula

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Combine the chicken, buttermilk, lemon and salt in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
  • For the crispy prosciutto: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Lay the prosciutto flat on the baking sheet and spray with a few more spritzes. Bake until lightly toasted and crispy, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • For the mayo: Mix together the mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the sandwiches: Mix together the flour, breadcrumbs and salt in a shallow bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grapeseed oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, removing as much of the buttermilk as possible, and dredge in the flour mixture. Place immediately in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Fry on the first side until golden brown and there is a ring of cooked chicken around the edges, about 5 minutes. Gently flip the chicken and continue to cook on the second side until evenly golden brown and cooked through, an additional 4 minutes. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each and cover the pan for an additional minute to melt the cheese. Alternatively, you can remove the chicken to a small baking tray, top with the mozzarella and place under the broiler until melted and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Spread the cut sides of the buns evenly with pesto mayonnaise. Place a small amount of arugula on the bottom halves and top with a cutlet. Break a slice of crispy prosciutto on top. Close the sandwiches and enjoy.

ULTIMATE CRISPY "CHICKEN" SANDWICH RECIPE BY TASTY



Ultimate Crispy

The crispy chicken sandwich craze gets a vegan makeover! The journey may be a long one, but the destination is well worth it. After you fry your "chicken" breasts to golden brown, serve up your sandwich on a toasted bun with colorful slaw and vegan aioli. Consider any carnivore fooled!

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!

COPYCAT FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH



Copycat Fried Chicken Sandwich image

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 dash hot sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup milk
canola oil for frying
4 soft hamburger buns, toasted and buttered
6 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
12 dill pickle slices, or to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk buttermilk, salt, hot sauce, and ranch dressing mix together in a large bowl. Cut diagonal slits into the thick ends of chicken breasts and toss into marinade until well coated. Transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the breading: Mix flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, cayenne, and ranch dressing mix together in a shallow dish.
  • Make the wash: Whisk egg, buttermilk, and milk together in another bowl until combined.
  • Use a fork to pull chicken from marinade, letting any excess drip off. Dip into the breading to coat both sides; shake off any excess. Dip into egg wash mixture to saturate surface; return to breading to coat, shake off excess, and repeat once more. Let sit on a wire rack to dry, at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer to between 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Fry chicken breasts in the hot oil until golden, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 4 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a plate topped with crinkled up aluminum foil to prevent bottoms from getting soggy.
  • Spread mayonnaise over hamburger bun halves. Stuff with pickles and chicken.

ULTIMATE CHICKEN PATTY SANDWICH

Make and share this Ultimate Chicken Patty Sandwich recipe from Food.com.

Provided by GingerlyJ

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 6 sandwiches, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

canola oil, for frying
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup diced red pepper
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/2 cup diced onion
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
1 pinch cayenne
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
chipotle mayonnaise
1 pint tabbouleh
4 -6 rolls

Steps:

  • Breading:.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs, in shallow dish
  • Chipotle Mayo, recipe follows
  • Preheat a deep-fryer with canola oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Pick the chicken from the bones and add to a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the peppers, onions, jalapenos, and garlic and cook until slightly caramelized. Stir in the bouillon and cayenne and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place pepper and onion mixture, picked chicken, egg and bread crumbs into a food processor and pulse until well incorporated and slightly chunky. Form chicken mixture into burger-size patties. Put the flour into a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Put the eggs and bread crumbs into separate shallow dishes. Bread the patties by dredging into the seasoned flour, then the eggs and finally through the bread crumbs. Transfer to a platter.
  • Fry the patties until crispy and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread Chipotle Mayo on both sides of the Portuguese rolls. Add the chicken patties to the bottom of the rolls and top with a good spoonful of tabbouleh. Cover with the roll tops and serve.
  • Chipotle Mayo:
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 chipotle peppers, minced
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • Pinch cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients until well incorporated. Cover and put in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Use a buttermilk marinade. Buttermilk tenderizes the chicken and helps it to absorb the seasonings. If you don't have buttermilk, 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.
  • Season the chicken generously. Don't be afraid to use a lot of seasonings. The chicken needs to be flavorful enough to stand up to the crispy coating.
  • Double-coat the chicken. This will help to ensure that the coating is evenly applied and that the chicken is extra crispy.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oil is not hot enough, the chicken will not cook through properly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken sandwich immediately. The chicken is best when it is hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

The ultimate crispy chicken sandwich is a delicious and satisfying meal. It is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a crispy chicken sandwich that is sure to impress your friends and family.
