PAN FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line half of 15x10x1-inch rimmed sheet pan with heavy-duty foil, creating a rimmed foil barrier in the middle half of the pan; spray foil with cooking spray.
• In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the softened butter and the honey. Set aside.
• In another small bowl, mix bread crumbs, salt, pepper and paprika. Coat chicken pieces with bread crumb mixture. Place chicken, skin sides down, in foil half of pan. In small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining 2 tablespoons butter uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until melted. Pour melted butter around chicken pieces.
• Bake 20 to 23 minutes or until chicken starts to brown. Turn chicken over, and add biscuits to other side of pan. Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F). Serve chicken with biscuits and honey butter.

Steps:

• If deep-frying, in a deep fryer or cast iron pot, heat 6-8 cups of oil to 375 degrees. If pan-frying, heat 1 1/2 - 2 cups oil (about 1/2 inch in the pan) in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan.
• In a large bowl or pie pan, whisk together hot sauce, water, and egg. In a shallow bowl or pie pan, combine flour, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, and garlic powder.
• Pound each chicken breast with a mallet/tenderizer until about 3/8 inch thick. The chicken may be much larger than the bun when it’s pounded thin. If so, you may want to cut the breast in half before breading to make the chicken fit better on the bun.
• Coat each fillet in the flour.
• Then in the hot sauce/water/egg mixture.
• Then in the flour again. Repeat the dredge if you would like a thicker coating.
• After all of the chicken is coated, deep fry for 8 to 12 minutes, or pan fry for 4 to 6 minutes on each side.
• After frying, drain excess oil from the chicken by placing it on a cooling rack or on a plate covered with paper towels.
• Grill the faces of the hamburger buns on a griddle or in a dry skillet (optional). Prepare sandwiches with chicken, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato.
