FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICHES WITH CHIPOTLE MAYO

Steps:

• Mix the mayonnaise and chipotle in adobo sauce in a small bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place the cornflakes in a large resealable plastic bag and use the back of a measuring cup to pound them into fine crumbs. Set up a standard breading station with three wide, deep plates (or pie plates). Mix the flour and 1 teaspoon salt in one plate. Add the cornflakes, panko, garlic salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper (I did 30 grinds) in the second plate and mix with a fork until well combined. Whisk the eggs together in the third plate.
• Line one baking sheet with a wire rack and another baking sheet with paper towels. Place one chicken thigh between two pieces of plastic wrap and use the back of a measuring cup or a meat mallet to pound the thigh about 1/4-inch thick. Place on the wire rack and repeat with the remaining chicken thighs.
• Using one hand for dry things and one hand for wet things, dredge one piece of chicken at a time in the flour, tapping off any excess. Dip into the eggs, then press into the cornflake mixture until evenly coated all over. Place back on the wire rack and repeat with the remaining three pieces.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add two pieces of chicken to the skillet and cook, flipping halfway through, until the crust is a deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining two pieces of chicken, making sure the oil stays hot.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread about 1 tablespoon of the chipotle mayonnaise on one side of each piece of toast. Top 4 pieces with the lettuce, then top with three pickles. Place a piece of chicken on top of the pickles, then top with the remaining slices of toast. Cut each sandwich in half and secure with a toothpick, if desired.

CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Wash and pat dry the chicken. Place each breast between two sheets of clear plastic wrap and pound until about 1/8" thick. They should flatten out to the point where you can cut each in half when cooked to make two sandwiches. Place on plate and season with 1 tablespoons of the Creole/Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add 2 of the 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the onions, peppers and the remaining tablespoon of seasoning mix and sauté until onions are caramelized. Remove vegetable mixture and set aside. Add remaining butter to the skillet and sauté the chicken breast until cooked through, turning once. This may need to be done in batches.
• To make chipotle mayonnaise, mix all mayonnaise ingredients together.
• To assemble, spread chipotle mayonnaise mixture on both inner sides of the toasted buns then layer within the cooked chicken, sautéed onions and red bell peppers.

Shape chicken mixture into 8 patties, 1/2 inch thick. Coat patties completely with crumb mixture. Cook patties in oil 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Remove patties from skillet; drain on paper towels.

HACKED CHIPOTLE-CHICKEN-SALAD SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt; place in a saucepan just large enough to fit it snugly in a single layer. Add broth and enough water to cover chicken by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a bare simmer (tiny, sporadic bubbles slowly rising to the surface) until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast reads 160°F, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool until slightly warm, about 30 minutes. Strain and reserve broth for another use.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, chipotle, lime zest, onion, and cilantro. In a small bowl, combine radishes, lime juice, vinegar, sugar, and a generous pinch of salt. Let stand, stirring a few times, 5 minutes. Drain radishes, reserving vinegar mixture.
• Remove and discard skin and bones from chicken. Carve chicken against the grain into 1/2-inch slices. With a large, heavy knife (such as a cleaver or chef's knife), hack chicken into bite-size pieces with a brisk chopping motion. Transfer to bowl with mayonnaise mixture, along with 2 tablespoons reserved vinegar mixture; stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Sandwich chicken salad in buns with lettuce, avocado, and pickled radishes; serve.
