FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness. Cut each breast in half and place in a bowl. Pour pickle brine on top and let sit for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, mix flour, powdered sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, celery salt, and basil in a bowl.
• Whisk eggs and milk together in another bowl.
• Drain liquid from the chicken and rinse off briefly. Shake any excess liquid from chicken.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the egg-milk mixture, then coat again with the flour. Dip each piece again, if desired.
• Deep-fry chicken, 3 pieces at a time, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Let chicken rest on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet for 5 minutes. While chicken is resting, lightly butter each sandwich bun and toast them in a skillet.
• Add 2 pickle slices to the bottom of each bun, then a chicken piece, then top with the other bun. Repeat to make remaining sandwiches.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, shallot, garlic, jalapeño, 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˚. Set a wire rack on a sheet pan and place them in the oven.

• 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˚. 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˚, carefully lower 3 pieces only into the oil with tongs and adjust the heat to keep the oil at 350˚. 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 top with 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.

FRIED CHICKEN BISCUIT SANDWICH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then place in a large zip-top bag. Pour in 2 cups (480 G) of buttermilk and the pickle brine. Close the bag and place inside a large bowl. Marinate the chicken thighs in the refrigerator for 6 hours, or up to overnight.
• Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Using a pastry cutter or a fork, incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients, leaving large chunks.
• Slowly pour in the buttermilk and fold with a rubber spatula until a thick dough forms.
• Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Bring the dough together into one large piece.
• Adding more flour as needed, roll the dough out with a rolling pin to about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) thick. Using a 3-inch (7 cm) round biscuit cutter or small glass, cut out 6 biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. It's okay if the biscuits are touching.
• Brush the biscuits with the melted butter and sprinkle with flaky salt. Reserve the remaining melted butter.
• Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Fry the chicken: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Heat the canola oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Add the buttermilk a bit at a time and stir with a rubber spatula to incorporate into the dry ingredients. It should be clumpy.
• Transfer a chicken thigh directly from the marinade to the flour mixture. Evenly coat the chicken all over, pressing to adhere the dry ingredients. Set on the wire rack and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Working 3 pieces at a time, add the chicken to the hot oil and cook until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to make sure the chicken browns evenly. Remove from the oil and let drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
• Cut the biscuits in half and brush one side with the reserved melted butter. Top with a piece of fried chicken and the other half of the biscuit.
• Enjoy!

Working with two pieces at a time, dredge chicken in plain flour mixture, then buttermilk mixture. Let excess drip off, then dip in clumpy flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere and making sure chicken is completely coated. If wet spots are visible, press in more coating.
