FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH SPICY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Pour the kefir, or buttermilk, or yogurt into a small dish and stir in the ½ teaspoon of hot smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon of salt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup. Peel the garlic and mince or grate it in, too. Give a good stir, then add the chicken thigh and turn it in the marinade to make sure it's well coated. Cover the dish, then leave for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days in the fridge. (If you simply cannot wait that long, leave the chicken in its marinade out on the kitchen countertop for 20-40 minutes.)
• Take the chicken, in its marinade, out of the fridge in good time to get to room temperature before you start to cook it.
• Mix the flour with the remaining ¼ teaspoon each of hot smoked paprika and salt in a shallow dish. Lift the chicken out of the marinade, but don't try and shake it off. Dredge both sides of the chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip briefly back into the marinade and dredge again. This double-dredging is essential to get a thick, shaggy coating. You can leave the coated chicken in the flour dish until you fry.
• Mix the garlic mayonnaise with the Chili Crisp oil and honey, and spread both pieces of a split burger bun (or a couple of slices of bread) with it. Put a plate lined with paper towels by (but not dangerously near) the stove, if you want to get rid of any excess fat once the chicken's cooked.
• Pour enough oil into your chosen pan to come about 1½ inches up the sides. Heat until a small piece of bread becomes golden and crisp almost instantly; if you want to be precise, and have a food thermometer, then you want the fat to be at 375ºF when the chicken goes in (and about 350ºF as it cooks).
• Using tongs, gently lower the chicken thigh into the hot oil, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, by which time the coating should be deep gold and very crisp and the chicken completely cooked through. Remove to the waiting paper-lined plate, remembering to take the pan of oil off the heat, and leave to stand for a couple of minutes while you shred some iceberg lettuce and get out your pickles. Put a handful of shredded lettuce on top of the mayo on the bottom slice, top with the fried chicken, add kimchi, pink-pickled onions and any other pickles you want. Scatter with a bit more lettuce and squidge on the top of the bun or second slice of bread. Go in cautiously: I have more than once burned my mouth.

KEAGAN'S SPICY FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Marinade: Combine all ingredients for the marinade (cream, lemon juice, water, cayenne, chili powder, garlic powder, chicken) in a glass container with a lid making sure the chicken is fully covered. Keep in fridge for 2-3 hours before cooking. You can also use a plastic bag but I highly recommend you opt for the glass bowl with lid route #enoughexcuses #plasticfree
• Chili Spice: Add the peppers to a saute pan and heat over medium high heat. Directly after it starts smoking pull off the heat. In batches, grind the peppers to a powder. I use a mortar and pestle. Then add garlic and onion powder. Save two tablespoons of the mixutre for later. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a pan and heat on medium high heat, add the rest of your spices and stir for 1 minute. Add 2 cups of rice vinegar. Make a slurry with 1 tablespoon corn starch and 2 tablespoons water and add. Keep on simmer.
• Herb Cream Sauce: Prepare the herbs and add to bowl. Add garlic, lemon juice and sour cream. Stir until combined. Add salt and pepper. Stir. 1-2 tablespoons water to reach desired consistency.
• Fried Onions: Slice 1/2 onion to about 1/4 inch thick slices. Add them to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup milk.
• Breading: Combine all ingredients for breading in a bowl and set aside.
• Finish Chili Spice Sauce: Add 1 tablespoon butter to finish off your sauce.
• Deep Fry: Deep fry onions first. Put onions in breading. Then drop in 350 degree oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Remove and place on paper towel. Salt immediately after removal. Now for the chicken, add the reserved spice to the flour breading. Coat chicken by pressing hard into flour making sure to coat the entire surface including cracks and crevices. Drop chicken into the oil. Cook until light golden brown. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes, I use a raised cookie sheet to let them rest. While the chicken is resting, toast the buns. Get the oil back to 350 degrees and fry chicken a second time for about 2 minutes.
• Make the sandwich: Take your toasted bun and add the herb sauce on both sides. Layer the pickles. Add the chicken to the sauce and then remove and place on the pickles. Add a pile of onions and then add another dollop of extra herb sauce. Cut in half and serve with your favorite side.
