Crispy Fish Or Chicken Sandwich With Spicy Mayonnaise Recipes

SUNNY'S SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH REMAKE

Steps:

• For the marinade/batter: Use kitchen scissors to cut 6 to 7 small horizontal slivers, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep, into each chicken breast, to give them potential for crispies when fried. Set aside.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, paprika, a nice pinch of salt and plenty of grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add to a resealable bag or large bowl along with the chicken and soak for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chicken to room temperature before frying.
• Heat several inches of oil in a pot or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry (reserving the marinade), then set aside. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch and baking powder in a large bowl. Slowly add the marinade liquid while whisking to form a pancake batter consistency. (If you go too far, just add more flour or about 2 tablespoons of water, depending on the texture.) Dust the chicken with some flour, then dunk in the batter to coat. Dust the chicken again with flour, then shake gently and slowly drop into the hot oil. Fry in batches until cooked through and golden on the outside, about 8 minutes. Remove and season with a pinch of salt and rest briefly on a few scrunched paper towels on a plate.
• For the sandwich: Butter both sides of each bun. Toast lightly in a grill pan or in the oven until lightly golden brown and warm, about 2 minutes.
• Stir together the mayonnaise and chipotle in a small bowl. Smear on the cut sides of the bun bottoms, then add the chicken, pickles and the bun tops. Wrap in aluminum foil pouches and let rest for less than 1 minute, then serve.

FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH SLAW AND SPICY MAYO

Steps:

• For spicy mayo and slaw:
• Mix garlic, mayonnaise, and hot pepper sauce in a small bowl; cover and chill. Toss onion, jalapeño, cabbage, pickles, and pickle juice in a large bowl to combine; cover and chill.
• For fried chicken and assembly:
• Whisk flour, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Pour buttermilk into another shallow bowl. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip in buttermilk, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Dredge again in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
• Pour oil into a large heavy skillet to a depth of 1/2". Prop deepfry thermometer in oil so bulb is submerged. Heat over medium heat until thermometer registers 350°F.
• Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet; season with salt. Spread cut sides of rolls with butter. Heat another large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook rolls buttered side down until browned and crisp, about 1 minute.
• Spread with spicy mayo. Build sandwiches with rolls, chicken, and cabbage slaw.

CRISPY FISH OR CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH SPICY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Spicy Mayonnaise: In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce, and rice vinegar until blended. Set aside.
• Preheat oil in saute pan.
• Wash fillets and pat dry with a towel. Lightly sprinkle with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
• In one bowl, place flour mixed with 1 1/2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning. In a separate bowl place the panko and in a third bowl, beat together the egg, Dijon mustard and 1 1/2 tbs. water.
• Dredge fillets into flour, then the egg mixture and lastly, the panko. Add fish or chicken to oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes depending on thickness. Remove to a paper towel lined platter.
• To assemble, spread the Spicy Mayonnaise mixture on both inner sides of the toasted pistolettes then layer within the hot fish (or chicken) fillets, romaine, tomatoes and onion slices.
• NOTE: For the chicken version, with a mallet pound skinless, boneless breast fillets to a 1/8" thickness then proceed with recipe instructions.

SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• 1. If deep frying, in a deep fryer or cast iron pot, heat 6-8 cups of oil to 375 degrees. If pan frying, heat 1 1/2-2 cups oil (about 1/2 inch in the pan) in a large, heavy bottomed frying pan.
• 2. In a large bowl or pie pan, whisk together hot sauce, water, and egg.
• 3. In a shallow bowl or pie pan, combine flour, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, and garlic powder.
• 4. Pound each chicken breast with a mallet/tenderizer until about 3/8 inch thick. The chicken may be much larger than the bun when it's pounded thin. If so, you may want to cut the breast in half before breading to make the chicken fit better on the bun.
• 5. Coat each fillet in the flour, then in the hot sauce/water/egg mixture, then in the flour again. Repeat the dredge if you would like a thicker coating.
• 6. After all of the chicken is coated, deep fry for 8 to 12 minutes, or pan fry 4 to 6 minutes on each side. After frying, drain excess oil from the chicken by placing it on a cooling rack or on a plate covered with paper towels.
• 7. Grill the faces of the hamburger buns on a griddle or in a dry skillet (optional) and prepare sandwiches with chicken, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato.

SPICY FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and hot sauce. In another bowl, toss the cabbage, parsley and jalapeno with the pickle juice.
• Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet to 350 degrees F.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, pepper, cayenne and salt. Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish. Working with one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip in the buttermilk and allow the excess to drip off. Dredge again in the flour mixture.
• Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Spread the bottom of each sandwich roll with the spicy mayo mixture. Layer on the pickles and fried chicken. Drizzle with honey, then top with some slaw and the sandwich roll tops.
