Ingredients
Fried Chicken:
Sandwiches:
Maple Chipotle Glaze:
Directions
Special equipment:
a deep-fry thermometer- For the fried chicken: Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Add the eggs to a separate shallow dish and beat well.
- Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs and allow the excess to drip off. Finally, put the chicken breasts back into the flour mixture, pressing well to thoroughly coat.
- Carefully slide each chicken breast into the hot oil and cook until golden, crisp and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack.
- For the sandwiches: Spread the garlic mayonnaise on the top and bottom of each of the toasted buns. Add the fried chicken to the bun bottoms and drizzle each with a generous amount of the Maple Chipotle Glaze. Top each with half the tomato, half the shredded romaine lettuce and 2 slices of bacon. Top with the bun tops and serve with your favorite chips.
Maple Chipotle Glaze:
- Combine the adobo sauce, maple syrup, soy sauce and brown sugar in a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, allowing the sugar to dissolve, 4 to 5 minutes.
