NASHVILLE RANCH RECIPES

Steps:

• Arrange a breading station. Mix the flour and one teaspoon of the seasoning mix on a plate; whisk the eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl and mix the panko crumbs with the remaining seasoning mix on a third plate or shallow bowl.

• Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour and shake off excess; dip into the egg and shake off excess and press into the breadcrumbs, coating on both sides.

• Heat enough oil in a large skillet to come up about ?–¼-inch of the sides of the pan until very hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook for about 6–8 minutes total, flipping once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the exterior is golden and crispy. Place on paper towels to drain.

• To build the sandwiches, place the hot chicken on the bottom of four rolls. Spread dressing on the tops, if using. Layer chicken, pickles, lettuce and coleslaw inside and close the sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in fridge 3 hours or up to overnight. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a metal rack. In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and hot sauce. In another shallow bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, and cayenne. Pat chicken dry, then dredge in flour mixture, then milk mixture, then flour mixture again, and place on wire rack. Repeat until all chicken is breaded.  In a large pot, heat oil until a candy thermometer inserted into pot reads 350°. Working in batches, fry chicken until golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Scoop out 1/2 cup hot oil, and let remaining oil cool in pot before discarding.  Make spicy oil: In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together cayenne pepper, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. Pour in reserved hot frying oil and whisk to combine. Brush over chicken before serving.
