Pan Fried Chicken Sandwich

Note: You can really build this however you want to, so I’m just going to give the frying directions.

1. In a large bowl mix the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Set aside. In a separate small bowl, add the eggs and beat until mixed.

2. In a large skillet add the oil and warm over medium-high heat.

3. As the oil warms up, get your first chicken piece ready by dipping it in the flour. Be sure to coat it evenly, then dip it into the egg,and then back into the flour. Test the oil by dropping a little bit of flour and see if it bubbles or sizzles. When the oil is hot, add the chicken. Dredge the rest of the chicken the same way.

4. You may need to turn the heat to medium; you don’t want the outside to burn before the chicken is cooked through. Cook until each side is a nice deep golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side. You don’t want any pink in the chicken meat. I usually cut a piece in half to check it—I know but I can’t help it!

5. Set a paper towel on a plate and put finished chicken on the towel to absorb any last oil. Assemble your sammie and enjoy!
