FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICHES
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, shallot, garlic, jalapeno, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of parchment paper and, with a rolling pin or a meat mallet, pound them until they are evenly 1/2 inch thick. Slice each piece of chicken in half crosswise so you have 2 pieces approximately the same size. Place the chicken in the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to (but not more than) 24 hours.
- When ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Set a wire rack on a sheet pan and place them in the oven.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, celery salt, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and set aside.
- Pour oil into a medium (9-inch round by 4 1/2-inch high) Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, until it is 2 inches deep. Clip on a candy thermometer and heat the oil over high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, lift the chicken from the marinade, dredge it in the flour mixture, submerge it again in the marinade, then again in the flour mixture, lightly shaking off the excess. Transfer the chicken to a plate or sheet pan until ready to fry.
- When the oil is 350 degrees F, carefully lower 3 pieces only into the oil with tongs and adjust the heat to keep the oil at 350 degrees F. Don't crowd the chicken! Cook for 5 minutes, turning once to brown evenly. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to the sheet pan in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Sprinkle all the chicken with salt and keep warm for up to 15 minutes, until ready to serve.
- To assemble, place the bottom of each bun on a plate, spread with some of the Buttermilk Herb Mayo, then a lettuce leaf, 4 pickle slices, then a piece of chicken. Spread the underside of the top bun generously with more of the mayo and place on top of the chicken, mayo side down. Serve while the chicken is still warm.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, scallions, parsley, chives, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Tips:
- For the crispiest chicken sandwich, use a buttermilk marinade. Buttermilk helps to tenderize the chicken and gives it a delicious flavor. To make the buttermilk marinade, simply combine 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the marinade and let it refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- When frying the chicken, use a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't burn. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- For the buttermilk slaw, use a combination of green cabbage and red cabbage. This will give the slaw a beautiful color and flavor. To make the buttermilk slaw, simply combine 1 head of green cabbage, shredded, 1 head of red cabbage, shredded, 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- For the herbed mayo, use a combination of fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill. This will give the mayo a delicious flavor and aroma. To make the herbed mayo, simply combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of chopped parsley, 1/4 cup of chopped chives, 1/4 cup of chopped dill, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl. Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to use.
