Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich

Chicken, SandwichesFebruary 17, 20131 comment

My granny always made the best fried chicken and when I asked her what her secret was she always said, “self-rising flour and a cast iron skillet”. So whenever I make fried chicken those are two things that I always use. This is a recipe for spicy chicken cutlet, but the spice level is up to you; just reduce the amount of chili pepper and sirachi sauce. If you do not want yours spicy at all, use original PANKO bread crumbs and season with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.

  7. In a third bowl pour in self rising flour.

  8. breaded rawDip 1 piece of chicken in the egg mixture and then into the flour, coat and press down on both sides of the chicken so that the flour sticks. Re-dip chicken into the egg and then place the chicken in the bread crumbs, coat and press well so the bread crumbs stick.

  9. Half way through, add the remaining 4 oz of PANKO breadcrumbs, 1 tbs garlic powder, 1 tbs black pepper, and 1 tbs chili powder (season to your preferred taste).
