A spot-on replica of Chick-Fil-A's famous fried chicken breast sandwich.

Homemade Chick-Fil-A Sandwiches Recipe

Kosher salt (see note)

Sugar

chicken

paprika

black pepper

cayenne pepper

MSG (optional)

milk

eggs

all-purpose flour

non-fat milk

baking powder

peanut oil

hamburger buns, toasted in butter

dill pickle chips

Dissolve 1/2 cup kosher salt (see note) and 1/4 cup sugar in 1 quart of cold water. Place chicken breasts in a zipper-lock bag and add brine. Transfer to refrigerator and let sit for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.

Meanwhile, combine paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and MSG (if using), in a small bowl. Set aside

Whisk together milk and eggs in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Combine flour, non-fat milk powder, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons of spice mixture in a large bowl and whisk until homogenous. Drizzle 3 tablespoons milk/egg mixture into flour mixture and rub with fingertips until the flour mixture is coarse like wet sand.

In a large wok, deep fryer, or Dutch oven, preheat oil to 350°F.

Remove chicken breasts from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Season on all sides with remaining spice mixture. Transfer to milk mixture and turn to coat. Working one cutlet at a time, allow excess milk mixture to drip off then transfer to flour mixture. Turn to coat, pile extra mixture on top of cutlet, and press down firmly to adhere as much mixture as possible to the meat. Lift cutlet, shake off excess flour, then slowly lower into hot oil. Repeat with remaining breasts.

Cook, turning breasts occasionally until golden brown and crisp on all sides, and chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Place 2 pickles on each bottom bun and a fried chicken cutlet on top. Close sandwiches, then cover with an overturned bowl or aluminum foil and allow to rest for 2 minutes to steam buns. Serve immediately.

These Chicken Parm Sliders are possibly the perfect party food! A delicious chicken appetizer or dinner recipe that's amazing for feeding a crowd.

Chicken Parm Sliders

Italian Bread Crumbs

vegetable oil

slider rolls (I used King’s Hawaiian)

mozzarella cheese

marinara sauce

Parmesan cheese

garlic powder

basil

salt

butter, melted

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs. Set aside. Pour the breadcrumbs into another medium bowl. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg and allow excess to drip off, and then into the breadcrumbs to coat. Transfer to a clean plate and repeat the process with all the chicken pieces.

Fill a large skillet about 1/4 inch deep with vegetable oil and heat on medium until the oil is 350°. I place the handle of a wooden spoon into the oil and if bubbles form immediately, the oil is ready. Fry the chicken in batches, about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.

Lightly coat an 11&#215;15 baking dish with nonstick spray. Cut the slider rolls in half, if they are not cut. Place the bottom rolls in the pan. Top rolls with 2 cups of cheese and place in the oven for 3-5 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese. Remove the pan from the oven and spread half of the marinara sauce on top of the cheese. Place a piece of chicken on each bun. Top with the rest of the marinara and then the rest of the cheese. Place on the top buns.

In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, basil, and salt. Stir in the melted butter. Pour this mixture evenly on top of all the buns.

Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until all the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted.

This Cajun fried chicken sandwich is absolutely packed with flavor. The chicken is oh-my tender, juicy and even has just a bit of a kick.

Cajun Fried Chicken Sandwich

boneless skinless chicken thighs

buttermilk

Ranch dressing

Creole seasoning

vegetable oil (for frying)

coleslaw (with carrots)

green onions (chopped)

onion

jalapeno (seeded, diced)

hamburger buns

Trim an excess fat from the chicken. Pound each piece flat. I like to put them in a one gallon baggie and then pound them so the chicken doesn&#039;t splatter.

Whisk together the buttermilk, dressing, and seasoning. Pour into a large resealable container. Add the chicken and seal.

Refrigerate overnight.

For the brine

Combine all but the dressing in a large bowl.

Drizzle dressing over the top of the slaw and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to make the sandwiches,

For the slaw

Heat 3&quot; of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or heat a deep fryer filled with oil to 375 F.

Whisk together the batter ingredients in a pie pan or shallow bowl.

Remove chicken from the brine and shake off any excess. Transfer to the batter mixture and coat well, turning to get all sides.

Place chicken in the oil and fry until internal temperature is 160-165 F, turning once. If you pounded the chicken very thin it won&#039;t take long to cook, 2-3 minutes per side. The coating will turn a lovely golden brown when it&#039;s done.

Remove pieces to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.

For the batter

Toast the buns if you wish.

Add a piece of chicken to each bun and top with plenty of the slaw and few pickle slices.

For the sandwiches

Heat the peanut oil in a frying pan until a speck of water sizzles across the top. Using tongs, shake excess liquid off the chicken pieces. Coat each piece in the dry flour mix. Add to the hot oil. Fry for 5 minutes on one side, then 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with a little more salt (to taste).

I made these last night for my husbands birthday party and everyone loved them. Who knew fried chicken was that easy? One of the things I appreciate most about your site is how you give me the courage to try more intimidating recipes.

Made this recipe; it was awesome. I have a mini-fryer...5 minutes at 375 degrees was perfect!!!

I made these for dinner last night, with a gluten free and dairy free modification to meet my family's dietary needs. These chicken sandwiches were AMAZING. We topped ours with the tangy slaw, the honey dijonnaise, and Swiss cheese.

I work on a yacht and have to come up with new and diverse menus to feed the crew. Sometimes I get stumped. I'm guessing that you too can appreciate what it means to be in a creative rut!
