Time 25m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 thin-cut chicken breasts (chicken cutlets)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon plus 1 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1/4 cup olive oil
4 toasted buns
1/2 cup pickle chips, drained

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt and pepper and set aside. Mix the flour and cayenne in a shallow dish or bowl. Stir together the egg, buttermilk and 1 tablespoon hot sauce in a second shallow dish or bowl. Add the breadcrumbs to a third shallow dish. Coat each chicken breast by dredging in the flour mix, then dipping in the egg/buttermilk mixture and then finally in the breadcrumbs. Set aside.
  • To a bowl, add the remaining cup of Louisiana hot sauce and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Mix together and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over a medium heat. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the chicken pieces to the skillet and fry until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. One by one dip the crisp chicken into the Louisiana hot sauce and butter mixture, turning to coat completely.
  • Serve on the toasted buns with tons of pickles.

1/2 small daikon radish, cut into matchsticks (about 1 cup)
4 stalks lemongrass, finely chopped
1 shallot, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce

4 large skinless, boneless chicken thighs (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds)

From Food and Wine magazine. A staff favorite! It's also a favorite of mine. For something so easy, this has great flavor. I wouldn't skip any ingredients. Lightly toasting the bread makes a difference, too, don't skip that. Get ready for a fun flavor adventure! *Cook time includes 1 hour refrigeration time.*

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced 1/4 inch thick (or pounded out)
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, plus more for spreading (I prefer Hellmans)
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 carrots, halved crosswise and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup cocktail-size pickled onion, sliced, plus
1/4 cup pickling liquid, from the jar
10 ounces baguette, split lengthwise and toasted (or any good bread)
sriracha sauce, for spreading
1 kirby cucumber, very thinly sliced lengthwise
fresh cilantro stem (optional)

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken with the soy sauce, 1 T. of the mayo and the sliced shallot. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for about 1 hour.
  • In another bowl, mix the sliced carrots with the pickled onions and their liquid and let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
  • Heat up a grill pan on high heat. Grill the chicken until charred and the chicken is cooked through - about 2 minutes per side. Put the shallots on after you flip the chicken. If you add the shallots right away, they will get too done.
  • Spread the mayo on the cut sides of the toasted baguette and then spread with Sriracha (to taste -- it's spicy). * I actually like to make a mixture in a bowl of the mayo and Sriracha, then spread it onto the bread. On th bottom half of the baguette, layer the carrots, pickled onions and sliced cucumber. Top with the grilled chicken and shallot slices. Lay the cilantro sprigs, if using, over the chicken and close the sandwich.
  • Cut the sandwich crosswise into 6 pieces and serve!
