Ingredients:
– 2 large chicken fillets
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– ¼ cup all-purpose flour
– ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
– ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 brioche buns, toasted
– 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 2-3 slices pickles
Instructions:
1. Cut the chicken fillets into thin strips. Season with garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
2. Place the flour, panko breadcrumbs, and cayenne pepper (if desired) in separate shallow bowls.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
4. Working one at a time, coat the chicken strips in flour and shake off any excess. Dip the chicken strips in the panko breadcrumbs and coat evenly, then dip in the olive oil to help the breadcrumbs to stick.
5. Place the chicken strips on the hot skillet or griddle and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
6. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayonnaise on the toasted buns, adding the crispy fried chicken strips, pickles, and any additional condiments of choice. Serve immediately.
Hack: Pan-frying the chicken strips in a little bit of oil will also yield a crunchy, juicy, and delicious result.
Tips & Suggestions:
– If you are not a fan of mayonnaise, you can swap it out for mustard, pesto, or another condiment of choice.
– Instead of pickles, try adding tomatoes, crisp lettuce, avocado, or bacon for extra flavor.
– This sandwich is best served hot and fresh, with a side of chips and a dill pickle spear.
– For an even crispier chicken, try air frying the chicken strips for an extra crunch.
