Baked Crispy Chicken Sandwiches Recipes

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Pound chicken to ½" - ¾" thick (just to make sure it's even). Combine all brine ingredients in a large bowl until sugar/salt are dissolved. Add chicken, cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Combine flour, corn starch, baking powder and seasonings in a bowl. Remove ¾ cup of this flour mixture and place in a shallow pan (this is the dry dredge).
• Add ¾ cup cold water to the remaining flour mixture and whisk until smooth. *see note
• Heat oil over medium heat to 350°F in a Dutch oven or deep pan.
• Remove chicken breasts from the brine; pat dry with paper towels. Discard the brine.
• Dip the chicken breasts into dry mixture, shaking off any excess and then into the batter ensuring it's coated on both sides. Allow excess batter to drip off. Dip back into the dry mixture to gently coat.
• Carefully place chicken in the hot oil (ensuring it stays at 350°F). Cook until the chicken coating is a deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 3-4 minutes per side (depending on thickness).
• Remove from oil and place chicken on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Butter each sesame seed bun and toast under the broiler just until golden.
• Spread 2 tablespoons mayonnaise over the bottom of each roll. Top with lettuce, pickles, and crispy chicken.

BAKED CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place all of the chicken ingredients in a large re-sealable plastic bag, seal it, shake the bag to mix and place it in the refrigerator overnight or 12-24 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the fridge and bring it to room temperature before cooking.
• Preheat the oven to 400F and place a wire baking rack or piece of parchment paper on top of a large baking sheet.
• Make the Panko mixture. In a large frying pan heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil from the panko mixture on medium heat. Mix all of the remaining panko mixture ingredients together in a shallow bowl or pie plate and pour them into the pan. Stir constantly until the panko is lightly toasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Pour the mixture back into the original shallow bowl or pie plate.
• In a separate medium shallow bowl or pie plate whisk the eggs together until well-beaten.
• In another shallow bowl or pie plate combine the flour mixture ingredients together well.
• Using your hands, take a piece of chicken from the buttermilk, coat it on both sides in the flour mixture shaking off the excess.
• Next coat each piece with the egg mixture and finish by pressing each side into the panko mixture, shaking off the excess. Place the piece of chicken on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces, being careful not to make them touch. Once the pieces are all coated and placed on the prepared sheet, place the pan in the oven and bake until they are golden brown, approximately 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.

• Mix cracker crumbs, seasoned salt, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts into melted margarine and press into cracker mixture until coated. Arrange chicken in prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

MOM'S CRISPY OVEN BAKED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• To marinade: place the Chicken Tenders (1 pound) in a large bowl and season with Garlic Powder (1/4 teaspoon), Salt (1/2 teaspoon), Ground Black Pepper (1/4 teaspoon), and Cayenne Pepper (to taste). You can add any additional seasonings you like. Add the Hot Sauce (1 dash) and Buttermilk (1 1/2 cup), cover, and marinate overnight in the fridge (or for a minimum of 4 hours).
• When ready to cook: If you are baking, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If you are using the air fryer, preheat to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Spray a sheet pan or the fry basket with non-stick spray.
• Remove the chicken from the fridge and begin to prep your additional ingredients. Put the Corn Flakes (2 cup) on a large plate and season with a sprinkle of Salt (to taste) and All-Purpose Flour (1 cup). Add the Ground Black Pepper (to taste) to a separate large plate and crush the flakes with your hands. Set up a dipping station with the marinade first, then the flour, then flakes. Have a baking sheet on stand by.
• Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, gently shaking to remove excess marinade, dip in the flour, back into the marinade, then roll into the flakes to coat evenly. Place on the baking sheet and repeat.
• Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until no longer pink or temperature has reached 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), or fry in the air fryer for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fully cooked. You may need to fry in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
• Butter (2 tablespoon) and toast your Soft Bread Rolls (8), spread each side with Mayonnaise (to taste), Hot Sauce (to taste), garnish with a Pickle Slices (to taste), and top with your fried chicken.

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the chicken, buttermilk, lemon and salt in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• For the crispy prosciutto: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Lay the prosciutto flat on the baking sheet and spray with a few more spritzes. Bake until lightly toasted and crispy, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• For the mayo: Mix together the mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the sandwiches: Mix together the flour, breadcrumbs and salt in a shallow bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grapeseed oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, removing as much of the buttermilk as possible, and dredge in the flour mixture. Place immediately in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Fry on the first side until golden brown and there is a ring of cooked chicken around the edges, about 5 minutes. Gently flip the chicken and continue to cook on the second side until evenly golden brown and cooked through, an additional 4 minutes. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each and cover the pan for an additional minute to melt the cheese. Alternatively, you can remove the chicken to a small baking tray, top with the mozzarella and place under the broiler until melted and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Spread the cut sides of the buns evenly with pesto mayonnaise. Place a small amount of arugula on the bottom halves and top with a cutlet. Break a slice of crispy prosciutto on top. Close the sandwiches and enjoy.
