WENDY'S FISH SANDWICH RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, jalapeño juice, buttermilk and hot sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour, more if you have the time.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and chili powder.
• To dredge the chicken, remove each piece from the buttermilk mixture and dip into the seasoned flour. Dip once again into the buttermilk and once more into the dry ingredients. Place the dredged chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and continue coating the remaining chicken pieces. Allow the coated chicken to rest while you heat up the oil. This will prevent the coating from falling off during frying.
• Pour the oil into a large pot and heat up to 365 degrees F. Carefully lower the chicken into the hot oil, cooking it in batches to not overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and the chicken reaches 165 degrees, about 4 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the oven and place on a clean wire rack, set over a baking sheet.
• Set a large pan or griddle over medium high heat, melt the butter and toast the buns, cut side down.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread the buns with mayonnaise and place a chicken on each bottom bun. Top with lettuce and tomato and the top bun. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine all coating ingredients in pie plate or shallow bowl; mix well. Set aside.
• Place additional 1/4 cup flour into another pie plate or shallow bowl. Place egg into separate pie plate or shallow bowl.
• Dip both sides of each fish fillet into plain flour; shake off excess. Dip both sides into egg mixture and then into breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides.
• Melt Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until sizzling; place breaded fish fillets into skillet. Cook, turning once, 6-8 minutes or until coating is golden brown and fish flakes easily with fork.
• Place fish fillets onto bottom half of rolls; top with shredded romaine and tomato slices. Serve with your favorite spread for dipping sauce or spread. Cut each sandwich in half.
