Crispy Chicken Sandwich (toasted with mayo)
INGREDIENTS:
6 cups vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup water
1 slice of cheddar cheese
6 slices of bacon
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon of chesapeake bay seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 chicken breast fillets
4 pieces of sliced bread
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices
8 slices of pickles
slices of onions
( a little mayo to toast your bread, it gives it a wonderful flavor )
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat 6 to 8 cups of oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
Beat the egg and then combine it with 1 cup water in a small, shallow bowl. Stir. Combine the flour, garlic salt,chesapeake bay seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder in another shallow bowl.
Pound each of the breast fillets with a mallet until about 1/4-inch thick. Trim each breast fillet until it is round.
Working with one fillet at a time, first coat each fillet with the flour, then dredge it in the egg and water mixture. Coat the chicken once again in the flour and set it aside until all of the fillets have been breaded.
While the chicken is cooking you can go ahead throw the bacon in the oven for a good 10-15 mins. in a 350 degree heated oven.
Fry the chicken fillets for 8 to 12 minutes or until light brown and crispy.
* Ok, just in case you run out of butter, spread a thin coat of rel mayo on your bread, grill it as if you were doing grilled cheese sandwiches. Just a plain skillet medium hot, it's a very quick process, brown one side flip it and brown the other side.
On the bottom slice, stack a leaf of lettuce,tomato,onion and pickles slice. Place cheese on top of hot chicken and place the bacon on top of cheese and chicken.
When the chicken is done frying, remove the fillets from the fryers and drain on paper towels or a rack for a couple of minutes.
Stack one fillet onto the bottom of the sandwich onto the lettuce, tomato, etc.
And enjoy your meal....
