I love a good chicken sandwich, and this one is as good as it gets. We’re going to kick up the breading with a bit of cayenne, and fry the chicken until golden brown. Then we’re going to add a kickin’ sauce, and (if you’re adventurous), we’ll add some pickled veggies to the top… YUMMY. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make awesome chicken sandwich with a kick

  • Step 1
    THE SAUCE
  • Step 2
    Gather your ingredients.
  • Step 3
    Add all the ingredients into a non-reactive bowl except the salt & pepper.
  • Step 4
    Mix together.
  • Step 5
    Season with salt & pepper, and reserve.
  • Step 6
    THE CHICKEN
  • Step 7
    Gather your ingredients.
  • Step 8
    Slice the chicken breast in half.
  • Step 9
    Then slice through horizontally.
  • Step 10
    Chef’s Note, you should have 4 pieces of chicken breast.
  • Step 11
    Season each piece with salt and pepper, on both sides.
  • Step 12
    Add the flour and paprika to a small dish.
  • Step 13
    Beat the egg and then add to another dish, along with the cilantro.
  • Step 14
    Add the Panko and the cayenne to a third dish.
  • Step 15
    Coat one of the chicken breasts with flour.
  • Step 16
    Dredge in the egg mixture, and then shake off the excess.
  • Step 17
    Place into the panko breadcrumbs, and press the crumbs into the chicken breast.
  • Step 18
    Transfer the chicken breast to a rack.
  • Step 19
    Chef’s Note: Repeat for the other 3 chicken breasts.
  • Step 20
    Allow them to rest for about 20 minutes.
  • Step 21
    Add about 1/4 inch of oil to a skillet, large enough to hold the 4 chicken breasts, and heat to medium high.
  • Step 22
    Chef’s Tip: At medium high the grapeseed oil will have a shimmer to it; however, it will not be smoking.

    Add the chicken to the oil, and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Step 24
    Turn over and cook an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
