Ingredients
🍗 1 pound ground chicken
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🔥 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning
🌿 1 teaspoon Lawry's seasoning
For the Batter:
🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
🌾 1 cup self-rising flour
🌾 1/3 cup cornstarch
🧂 2 teaspoons onion powder
🧄 2 teaspoons garlic powder
🌶️ Black pepper to taste
🧂 1 teaspoon kinder’s red jalapeño garlic
🧂 1 teaspoon Slap Yo Mama seasoning
🧂 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
💧 1 cup club soda
For the Sauce:
🥄 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
🔶 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
For Assembly:
🍞 Brioche buns (buttered and toasted)
🥬 Iceberg lettuce
🥒 Kosher dill pickles
🛢️ Peanut oil (or canola/vegetable oil) for frying
Instructions
1- Prepare the Chicken Patties:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, paprika, Slap Ya Mama seasoning, and Lawry's seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into even patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink when cooked.
2- Prepare the Batter:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, kinder’s red jalapeño garlic, Slap Yo Mama seasoning, and seasoned salt.
- Gradually add the club soda to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
3- Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and yellow mustard. Stir until well blended and creamy.
4- Frying the Chicken:
- Heat the peanut oil in a deep pan or skillet until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Coat each chicken patty thoroughly in some all-purpose flour, then dip into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
- Carefully place the battered patties into the hot oil, frying until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
5- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread a generous amount of the mayonnaise-mustard sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Place a fried chicken patty on top of the sauce, followed by fresh iceberg lettuce and a couple of slices of kosher dill pickles.
- Complete the assembly with the top half of the bun.
