Best Crispy Chicken Po Boys With Cajun Remoulade Recipes

FRIED CHICKEN PO' BOYS

Steps:

• For the marinade: Put the chicken in a large bowl and add the buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper and toss until the chicken is coated. Refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight.
• For the seasoned flour: Combine the flour, Cajun seasoning, pepper, baking powder, salt and confectioners' sugar in a large shallow dish or paper bag.
• Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour. Shake off any excess and transfer to a plate.
• Fill a large cast-iron skillet halfway with oil and fit the skillet with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set a cooling rack on top.
• Add 5 or 6 pieces of chicken at a time to the oil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook until the chicken is golden brown and juices run clear when pierced, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Remove to the prepared cooling rack and let sit for 5 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• For the sandwiches: Meanwhile, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon, pickle brine and hot sauce in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on both sides of the baguettes. Lay the pickles and tomatoes on top of the mayonnaise on one side of each piece of bread. Add a few chicken pieces to each. Top with some Red Cabbage Slaw and the top pieces of bread. Cut each loaf in half, then cut into 8 to 10 portions. Serve with lots of napkins!
• Combine the oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, granulated sugar, mustard seeds and minced garlic in a bowl and whisk together. Add the coleslaw mix, cabbage and green onions and toss lightly. Taste the slaw, then add salt and pepper to your liking. Serve right away or chill up to overnight.

CRISPY SHRIMP PO' BOY WITH SPICY REMOULADE

Steps:

• Fill a deep-fryer or large Dutch oven with several inches of oil and slowly bring it to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Line a sheet pan with paper towels and set aside. Sprinkle the shrimp with the garlic powder, paprika and some salt and pepper.
• Place the flour, egg and panko in separate shallow bowls. Toss the shrimp in the flour, then the egg (allow excess to drip off). Finally, toss the shrimp in the panko.
• Deep fry the shrimp until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towels.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha and capers in a small bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Sprinkle the tomato slices on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Brush the inside of the ciabatta rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Spread some spicy remoulade on both sides of the rolls. Place the Muenster on the bottom of the bread.
• Arrange 3 fried shrimp on each sandwich and top each with 2 tomato slices and a small handful of shredded lettuce.
• Top with the tops of the bread. Skewer both end with sandwich picks and slice in half. Serve immediately.
