Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 lemon, juiced
⅓ cup canola oil
⅓ cup parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
½ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¾ cup all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon McCormick® Paprika
2 large eggs
½ cup buttermilk
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
canola oil, for frying
8 little gem lettuces, cut into 1 in (2.54 cm)
2 cups cherry tomato, halved

Steps:

  • Make the Caesar dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the anchovies, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, McCormick® Garlic Powder, lemon juice, and canola oil. Blend until combined with a consistency similar to mayonnaise. Add the Parmesan, salt, and pepper to taste, and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the fried chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, McCormick® Garlic Powder, and McCormick® Paprika. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then again in the flour mixture.
  • Heat ½ inch of canola oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the chicken thighs to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • Make the salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the Little Gem lettuce, tomatoes, and Caesar dressing. Garnish with fried chicken croutons and more Parmesan.
  • Enjoy!
