Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness if needed and season both sides with a mixture of salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg to create an egg wash.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and back into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot oil and fry for about 8-10 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with hot sauce to make the spicy mayonnaise.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
Assemble each sandwich with a layer of spicy mayonnaise on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, a slice of tomato, the fried chicken breast, pickles, and the top bun with more spicy mayonnaise.
Serve the spicy chicken sandwiches immediately while hot.
