Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken fillets
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Sandwich
- 2 sandwich buns
- Fresh lettuce leaves, 2-4
Garlic Mayo
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- Salt, a pinch
- Black pepper, a pinch
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Mayo: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the finely minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Fry the Chicken: Season the chicken fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the chicken fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove and let rest briefly.
- Toast the Buns: Optionally, lightly toast the sandwich buns in the skillet or oven until golden to add crunch and warmth.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of garlic mayo on the bottom and top halves of each bun. Place the fried chicken fillet on the bottom bun, add fresh lettuce leaves on top, then cover with the top bun.
- Serve: Serve the crispy chicken sandwich immediately while the chicken is hot and the bun is fresh.
Notes
- For extra crispy chicken, dredge fillets in seasoned flour or breadcrumbs before frying.
- Customize the garlic mayo by adding a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zing.
- Serve with pickles or sliced tomatoes for additional flavor layers.
- Ensure the oil is adequately heated to prevent greasy chicken.
