Putting The Chicken Sandwich Together
The exciting part is here now! Putting together this amazing Nashville Chicken Sandwich
- Begin by toasting your buns' cut sides in a pan with a little butter. Then, to assemble, spread mayonnaise or spicy mayonnaise over the brioche or burger bun, place a slice of the fried hot chicken there, top with coleslaw and pickles, and then top with the top bun portion.
Direction
- If there is enough time, brine the chicken. Place the chicken in a glass bowl with a sprinkle of salt and pepper after cutting it into four separate cutlets or chunks. For 30 to 60 minutes, place the covered container in the refrigerator.
- Bread the chicken after removing it from the refrigerator. Combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper in a small basin. Additionally, combine the buttermilk and spicy sauce in a separate bowl.
- A tablespoon or so of the buttermilk mixture should be added to the flour, and then the flour should be crumbled with your hands.
- Shake off any extra flour as you dredge the chicken in it, then dip it in buttermilk before dredging it once again in flour. Clear away any extra flour.
- Oil should be heated to 160°C (350°F) or less. Add the chicken, two pieces at a time, and cook for 3–4 minutes on one side before flipping. When the internal temperature of the chicken hits 74°C (160°F), it is finished. As you finish frying the remainder, remove it right away and put it on a cooling rack in the oven to keep it warm.
- As you're cooking the chicken, take about half a cup of the heated oil and cover the spices with it. Next, combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Give it a short stir, then use it to baste the chicken. To avoid greasy chicken, make sure to do this while the chicken is still hot.
- Assemble the crispy chicken sandwich by spreading mayo on the toasted buns, then adding the fried chicken, coleslaw, and pickles (optional).
Tips
- Just after breading, fry. The breading will become soggy and not crisp up very well if you leave the breaded chicken out for a long period of time.
- Don't skip the brown sugar while creating the Nashville sauce since it enhances the flavour SO MUCH!
- While the chicken is still hot, baste it with the Nashville sauce. You might get greasy chicken if you wait until everything has cooled off.
- While you fry the remaining chicken, keep the chicken warm in the oven. However, be cautious to use a wire rack that won't melt in the oven.
Bonus Tip
- For a very crunchy crust, double-dip the chicken. It's crucial to make the tiny crumbs before breading the chicken.
- Don't scrimp on the salt; it makes a big difference. Season the flour carefully.
- Plain yoghurt that has been diluted with a little water can be used in place of buttermilk
- Use any spicy sauce with a vinegar base, like Frank's, Louisiana, or Sriracha.
