Instructions
- Slice the French baguette loaf, sliced into 4 sections, then sliced open on one side to fill.
- Mix together the sauce ingredients for the coleslaw then toss with the cabbage and carrots. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Mix together the ingredients for the Remoulade sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Filet the two chicken breasts so that you have four thin pieces of chicken. In one small bowl mix together the milk and egg. In another small bowl mix together the Wondra flour and Cajun seasoning.
- Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large fry pan over medium heat. Dip each piece of chicken in the milk mix, then coat thoroughly in the flour mix.
- Fry for three to five minutes or until lightly browned on each side. Remove from hot oil and set on paper towels.
- Spread Remoulade sauce inside the bottom half of the the cut roll/baguette.
- Add chicken and top with coleslaw. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Tips for Best Fried Chicken
- Flour - If you don't have Wonda flour, regular all-purpose flour will work too.
- Oil - Use either vegetable, canola, or peanut oil to fry the chicken.
- Cooling- Once the chicken is fried, set it on a baking sheet with a wire rack to let it cool all around the chicken while the drippings from the oil fall onto the baking sheet through the wire rack squares.
- Soaking - Make sure to pat dry with paper towels to soak up excess grease or place it on a baking sheet.
- Dutch oven - I like to use my dutch oven for frying the chicken. I make smaller batches and only cook two to three chicken pieces at a time. It can hold the oil and not splash out as easily as a shallow pan.
- Bread - Try it with a homemade biscuit that is thick to hold the chicken. This gives another southern favorite taste!
