Chicken Cutlet Sandwiches With Savoy Cabbage Slaw Recipes

FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH CABBAGE SLAW, PICKLES, AMERICAN CHEESE AND MAPLE MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• For the slaw: To a large bowl, add the cabbage, a generous pinch of salt, vinegar, carrots, onion and garlic. Toss to combine, then set aside to sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the mayonnaise and mix to combine.
• For the quick pickles: To a bowl or container, add the vinegar, 1 cup water, the salt, sugar and hot sauce. Stir well to combine. Add the cucumbers, then allow to sit for 20 minutes.
• For the chicken: Fill a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot with 2 inches of canola oil. Heat to 350 degrees F. Set a rack inside a rimmed sheet pan.
• To a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of the onion powder, 1 tablespoon of the chipotle powder, mustard powder and buttermilk. Add the chicken and submerge, ensuring the chicken is fully coated. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes. To another large bowl, add the flour, the remaining 1 tablespoon garlic powder, the remaining 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon of the salt and the baking soda. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon chipotle powder.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and place into the seasoned flour. Toss until the chicken is fully coated, then transfer it back into the buttermilk, and then back into the seasoned flour so the chicken is double coated. Dust off any excess flour, and gently place the chicken into the hot oil. Fry the chicken in batches until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes. Place on the prepared sheet pan and season the chicken immediately with the chipotle salt. Transfer to the oven and continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• For the maple mustard sauce: Mix the Dijon and maple syrup in a small bowl to combine.
• To assemble: Spread some of the maple mustard sauce followed by a slice of cheese on the top and bottom of each bun. Add the fried chicken, then the slaw and finally the pickles. Serve with more maple mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH BUTTERMILK SLAW AND HERBED MAYO

Steps:

• Prep the chicken:
• Combine buttermilk, hot sauce, and 2 tsp. salt in a large, shallow bowl. Add chicken, cover, and chill 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise and herbs in a small bowl; cover and chill until ready to use.
• Place cornstarch in a shallow baking dish. Combine flour, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, black pepper, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt in another shallow baking dish. Lightly beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture and dredge in cornstarch, shaking off excess. Dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl, then coat in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Repeat for a second coating. Place chicken on a lightly floured sheet tray; chill at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Make the Buttermilk Slaw:
• Whisk buttermilk, mayonnaise, vinegar, pepper, honey, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Add cabbage and carrot and toss to combine.
• Fry the chicken:
• Pour oil into a heavy-duty pot to a depth of 3/4" and fit pot with deep-fry thermometer. Heat oil over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Reduce heat to medium, then fry chicken pieces, two at a time and turning occasionally, until crispy and golden and the internal temperature registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt.
• Assemble the sandwiches:
• Spread rolls on cut sides with butter. Heat a large skillet over medium. Working in batches, cook rolls, buttered side down, until browned and crisp, about 1 minute.
• Spread one side of bun with herbed mayonnaise. Build each sandwich with chicken, pickles, 1/4 cup slaw, and remaining bun. Serve remaining slaw alongside.
