Fried Chicken

  • 1 1/2 Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Ground black pepper
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tbs Water
  • 1 1/2 Cup Panko
  • 1/2 Cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 16 Oz Vegetable or Canola oil

Directions

Fried Chicken

  1. Prepare your fried chicken station with 3 pans. In the first pan mix the flour, salt, and ground black pepper. In the second pan, mix the eggs and water. In the third pan, mix the panko and breadcrumbs.
  2. One by one, take your chicken and coat in the flour mixture, move it to the egg mix and ensure you cover the chicken with the egg mix. Place in the panko and press down, get a good coating of mix on both sides of the chicken. Place the chicken on parchment paper as you repeat for the other pieces of chicken.
  3. Add the oil to high-sided pan and heat over medium heat to 350 degrees (F).
  4. Place the chicken, away from you, in the pan and cook in batches of one or two. Fry for 3 minutes and then flip the chicken and continue to fry for another 3 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken and place on a wire rack over paper towels to cool.

NOTE: You can choose to pan sear or grill your chicken as well. Ensure that you sear or grill the chicken to an internal temp of 165 degrees (F)

Sandwich

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees (F).
  2. In a small bowl combine your mayo and Calabrian chili and oil.
  3. Place your prosciutto on a baking pan covered with aluminum foil and bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Or until crispy.
  4. Pre-heat your oven to high broil. Slice your Ciabatta rolls in half and spread the garlic butter on both sides.
  5. Toast your rolls under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
  6. Build your sandwich by spreading the Calabrian chili mayo mix and the bottom, top with arugula, parmesan, prosciutto, the chicken (either fried, grilled, or pan seared), and Caesar dressing. If you want more parmesan you can add more. Adjust to your liking.
