Crunchy Chicken Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the hot sauce with the egg whites then set up your assembly line: chicken, egg dip, panko crumbs, baking rack.
• Dip the chicken in the egg then roll in the panko crumbs. Press those crumbs on tightly. Place on baking rack to set while you get the frying pan ready.
• Heat your large frying pan over medium-high flame and add the olive oil.
• When the oil is hot, add the cutlets. Cook for about 3 minutes on the first side; flip and cook 2 minutes more, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Don't let the panko get over browned!
• While the chicken cooks, toast the buns under the broiler.
• For each sandwich, place 1 lettuce leaf on the browned bun bottom ( that's an odd phrase, huh?)and spoon over 1/4 of the "Buffalo" sauce. Top with a cutlet, another 1/4 of the sauce and a lettuce leaf.
• If you have extra sauce, dipping your sandwich as you eat is encouraged.

Steps:

• Pour water in pan to 3/4 in and bring to simmer.
• Add chicken , cover and poach over med/low heat for about 12 -15 minutes.
• Put on a plate and refrigerate till cool enough to handle. Then finely dice.
• In a bowl stir all remaining ingredients including the chicken.
• Butter the bread with the softened butter and spread 1 slice with the mixture. Top with remaining slice of bread. Trim the crust and cut the sandwich into triangles or squares for little hands.
• If you want to make ahead , place on a baking sheet and cover with a damp cloth and cover tightly with plastic wrap for up to 24 hours.

Steps:

• Make the beer batter and fry the chicken: Pour oil 1/4 full into a deep pan and set over medium heat. Secure a deep-fry thermometer to the pan's side and heat oil to 320-330 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, whisk the beer, buttermilk, flour, and grits until smooth. Continue whisking in the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper; then dip one at a time, into the beer batter. In two batches to avoid overcrowding, fry chicken until exterior is golden brown, interior is just cooked through 5-6 minutes per side. Make sure the oil temperature is maintained at 320-330 F through the cooking process.
• Make the tahini sauce and finish the chicken: In a bowl, add the tahini with the ice cubes and stir around to melt the ice and incorporate into the tahini. Add a few tablespoons of water if necessary. (This will give the tahini a silky-smooth texture). Add the ricotta and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. When the chicken is golden brown, crispy and cooked through, remove it to a rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet to cool.
• Fry the egg and assemble the dish: In a medium skillet, add 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil, then the eggs. Season the yolks with salt. Slowly cook on low/medium heat until the white is just cooked with no color. Slice the bread into 4, 1-inch slices and spread some of the tahini cheese mixture onto each slice. On two of the slices build the sandwich with pea sprouts, sliced tomato and a piece of chicken (optionally cut in half). Place the sunny-up egg on top of the chicken, finish with more pepper and serve.
