Equipment

  • pull out only the written equipment from the steps

Ingredients
  

  • 4 buttery brioche buns
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast sliced into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 tbsp Cane’s signature dipping sauce
  • 1 cup crisp shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup pickles sliced
  • 1 tbsp cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  • Start by marinating the chicken strips. Combine flour, smoked paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well to create a seasoned flour.

Step 2: Coat the Chicken

  • Dredge the chicken strips into the seasoned flour mix. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. This is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch.

Step 3: Fry the Chicken

  • Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pot. Once the oil reaches 350°F, carefully add the coated chicken. Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 4: Toast the Buns

  • While the chicken is frying, lightly toast the brioche buns on a skillet until golden. This adds buttery flavor and prevents sogginess.

Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich

  • Spread Cane’s signature dipping sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer fresh romaine lettuce, followed by fried chicken strips, and top with pickles. Place the top bun and press gently.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve immediately while hot. Pair with your favorite sides and perhaps a refreshing drink.

Notes

  • Temperature Control: Always fry at the correct temperature to avoid greasy chicken. Too hot will burn it; too cold will make it soggy.
  • Marination Matter: If time allows, let your chicken strips marinate in a buttermilk mixture for a few hours. This enhances tenderness.
  • Quality Ingredients: Using fresh ingredients will elevate your sandwich. Opt for high-quality buns and fresh produce.
  • Experiment with Spices: Don’t hesitate to tweak the spice mix. A little garlic powder or pepper can add extra flavor.
  • Preparation Ahead: You can prepare the chicken the night before and simply fry it just before serving. This makes for easy meal prep.
