"Thee" Fried Chicken Sandwich

Hey everyone!

Today we are gonna show you how to make a fried chicken sandwich. This sandwich is so simple and easy you are gonna love it! Now you can make up restaurant style fried chicken sandwich's for your family and friends! You can also mix up the spices we used and try ones you might like better we just want to give you all a base to how to make this. We can't tell you how amazing this did come out. We do hope you try this and everyone have a fun and safe 4 of July! We do know there are so many great different recipes out there for this and we do hope you try ours! We made it as simple as we could and yes, it came out amazing! In fact we have made these many times since this release!

Prep Time: 4-8 Hrs

Cook Time: 5 Minutes

Total Time: 4-8+ Hrs

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients: Thin sliced chick breast cutlets. (Cut in half and pounded lightly) Buttermilk (Enough to cover the chicken in a bowl) 2 Tablespoons Salt (1 For wet, 1 for dry mix) 2 Tablespoons Pepper (1 for wet, 1 for dry mix) 1 Tablespoon Paprika (Wet Mix) 1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika (Dry Mix) 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder (Dry Mix) Oil for frying Buns Sliced Pickles Shredded Lettuce

Directions:

Lay out the Thinly Sliced Chicken Cutlets and use a meat mallet to tenderize. Use gently.

In a large bowl add the buttermilk, salt, pepper and paprika.

Mix well

Place the chicken in the buttermilk mix and put the bowl in the fridge for anywhere from 4 hours to over night.

Just before you fry get your dry ingredients ready.

In a large bowl add your flour, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder.

Mix well.

Heat up oil to 375 and get all your bowls ready.

Take a piece of chicken from the wet buttermilk bowl and dredge it in the flour bowl. Make sure the chicken is coated well. Do this for a few pieces and place in the hot oil. Don't over crowed the oil.

When putting the chicken in the oil lay it in slow and move it side to side so it goes in slow. This will be a safer approach.

Watch the chicken and flip them in the oil after a few minutes. When the chicken is cooked it will float to the top of the oil. Chicken is also done at 365 degrees. They won't take long since they are think pieces.

When the chicken is golden brown and cooked remove it and put it on a tray then put the tray in a warm oven. About 200 degrees. This will crisp them up more and keep them from cooling down as you continue to cook!

Once all the chicken is cooked remove and start plating them up!

Decorate the bun however you like and serve up! We suggest nice crispy fries!

Here it is!

As you can see it does have a great look! It was so good too! Very crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. A great fried chicken combo! You can mix this up with different spices in the wet and dry ingredients as well as make your own cool mayo but we keep it pretty simple! Check out how we did this below!

We do hope everyone enjoyed this video, we sure did! This honestly was one of our favorites. The sandwich came out so good and we already served it to family and friends who just loved it! Save on going out and make this up you will be so happy you did! Thank you all again for checking out site out and we hope you stick around and look over other post and vids!

Grilled French Fries

 Hey everyone!

     We have a fun side for you!  Now a lot of people know about French Fries.  They know they are mainly fried in oil or oven backed.  However today we are going to grill them!  Nice large seasoned fries!  Chef said he hasn't even tried them yet so he is so excited!  This makes for a great new taste on fries along with some cool grill marks.  This is also nice if you are grilling burgers or hot dogs you can grill everything at once and not worry about running to the fryer!  Check this video out below and yes this one is also Gluten Free.  Just always of course check the seasonings. 

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time:15 Minutes
Total Time: 25 Minutes

Serves: 6-8 

Ingredients: Potatoes (We used Russetts) Melted Butter 1 Tbsp Ground Bay leaves 1 1/2 Tsp dry mustard 1 Tsp Ground Ginger 1/2 Tsp Allspice 1 Tsp Chilipowder 1 Tsp Paprika 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon 1 Tsp Garlic Powder Pinch of Salt and Pepper

Directions: Wash the potatoes and dry. Cut them into wedges. Place them in a steamer pot. (Or boiling water if you don't have a steamer pot) Steam them for just a few minutes. While they are steaming in a large bowl mix all the seasonings together. (Feel free to use others you like as well!) Mix well and put aside. Once the potato's are soft but not to soft remove them and pat them dry. Brush the fries wit either melted butter or oil to glaze them. Sprinkle the rub you made over the fries and flip and get the other side. Place them on your hot grill spaced apart evenly. Let cook for several minutes and flip. Grill other side for several minutes and remove.

Here they are!

They came out really good! A nice char and crispy outside with a tender almost mashed like potato inside! We were very happy with the outcome and it was nice not to use oil. You can mix up the seasonings however you feel but do give this a try. Check out our video below to see how we did this!

Thank you again for checking this out and we do hope you try this! They did come out really well. Spice things up next time you cook and grill your fries! This again was simple, healthier and gluten free! We hope everyone checks out some of our other video's and post and learns some new great ideas!

Remember, Cooking should be FUN, have FUN doing it!
