Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich
Breaded fried chicken sandwiches with a deliciously fiery mayo!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Flour for dredging
- Breadcrumbs (I used Italian flavored ones)
- Peanut oil for frying
Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
Other/Garnish:
- 4 buns
- Lettuce
- Tomato
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
- Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise (I butterfly first to make it easier) so you end up with four pieces of chicken.
- Prepare 3 bowls - one with the egg, another with breadcrumbs, and the third with flour. Start with small amounts of breadcrumbs and flour and add more as needed.
- Heat 1/4" of peanut oil in a heavy skillet on medium-high heat.
- One by one, dip each piece of chicken in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumbs. Add each piece to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown.
- Remove the chicken to a paper towel lined plate. If you want to toast the inside of the buns, simply place them in the same pan you cooked the chicken in for a couple of minutes.
- Assemble the sandwiches and enjoy!
