Chick Fil A Spicy Deluxe Sandwich
Description
The Chick Fil A Spicy Deluxe Sandwich begins with chicken breasts cut into pieces and marinated in dill pickle juice, which tenderizes the meat and adds a subtle acidity. After marinating, the chicken is dipped in an egg and milk wash before being thoroughly coated in a seasoned flour mix containing paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt for a spicy, flavorful crust.
Fried in peanut or canola oil until golden and crispy, the chicken pieces become juicy inside with a crunchy exterior. The sandwich is assembled on hamburger buns layered with pepper jack cheese, sliced tomato, leaf lettuce, and a generous amount of dill pickles, which add fresh, crunchy contrast and tang to the spicy fried chicken.
This sandwich suits those who enjoy a spicy fried chicken sandwich with bright pickle notes and creamy cheese. The preparation method requires frying in batches to maintain crispiness and even cooking.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 cup dill pickle juice
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- peanut oil or canola oil; for frying
- 4 Hamburger Bun
- 16 dill pickles
- 4 lices pepper jack cheese
- 1 tomato sliced
- 4 Pieces leaf lettuce
Instructions
- Filet the chicken breasts into 4 pieces of chicken and trim off any excess fat.
- Combine the chicken and pickle juice in a medium size bowl. Cover and refrigerate to marinate the chicken in the pickle juice for 30-60 minutes (or overnight).
- Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain off the pickle juice.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Then pour this mixture over the chicken pieces.
- Then in a large ziplock bag, add the flour, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Seal the bag and shake to combine all the ingredients.
- Drain the excess milk mixture off the chicken and place the chicken in the ziplock bag with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and then shake to thoroughly coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture.
- Then heat the peanut oil or canola oil in a large pan over medium heat or in a fryer.
- Working in batches, add the chicken to the hot oil and cook until the chicken is golden brown and crispy (approximately 3-5 minutes). Once cooked, move the chicken to a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up the excess oil. Place the cheese on chicken while warm to melt the cheese.
- Then serve on the hamburger buns with the dill pickles, tomatoes and lettuce.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
